• What are the limits to oil palm expansion (2016, neutral): “However, if several global datasets on aboveground biomass are available (Avitabile et al., 2016; Baccini et al., 2012; Saatchi et al., 2011), there is a high uncertainty associated with the biomass information which is derived from satellite images (Mitchard et al., 2013).”
• Towards Causal Inference for Spatio-Temporal Data: Conflict and Forest Loss in Colombia (2020, background): “Tropical forests are rich in biodiversity [Kreft and Jetz, 2007], store large amounts of carbon [Avitabile et al., 2016], play an important role in climate-regulation, and provide livelihoods to millions of people [Lambin and Meyfroidt, 2011].”
• Unexpectedly large impact of forest management and grazing on global vegetation biomass (2017, neutral): “However, a study based on alternative site data 11 corrected both maps downwards, close to the grid-based minimum of both accounts, better matching the FRA-based assessment.”
