The Potential for Species Conservation in Tropical Secondary Forests (2009, background): “Few of these actions will be successful in the long term unless institutions and policies allow rural people to benefit in some way from the protection of secondary forests (Chazdon 2008a).”
China’s conversion of cropland to forest program: a systematic review of the environmental and socioeconomic effects (2016, positive): “Chazdon [62]’s call for more attention to the incorporation of natural processes, including natural regeneration and succession, in the design of restoration projects.”
Trade-offs of European agricultural abandonment (2017, background): “…with the spatial heterogeneity of environmental conditions in many regions lead to the assumption that the different positive and negative outcomes related to environmental consequences of agricultural abandonment differ per location and scale (Ramankutty and Rhemtulla, 2012; Chazdon, 2008).”
Is Direct Seeding a Biologically Viable Strategy for Restoring Forest Ecosystems? Evidences from a Meta‐analysis (2016, background): “In this context, ecological restoration has become an important restoration technique to mitigate the negative impacts of human activity on forest ecosystems (Chazdon, 2008; Benayas et al., 2009; Ceccon, 2013).”
Back to Roots: The Role of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi in Boreal and Temperate Forest Restoration (2020, background): “This process is reducing biodiversity and negatively affecting the goods and services they provide (Chazdon, 2008; Aerts and Honnay, 2011).”

Impacts of large‐scale forest restoration on socioeconomic status and local livelihoods: what we know and do not know (2016, background): “Although many are optimistic about the outcomes from FLR approach and its effects on local livelihoods, only recently have large-scale reforestation and restoration initiatives began to be evaluated (Chazdon 2008, Coomes et al. 2008, Barr & Sayer 2012, Blignaut et al. 2013).”
Agroforestry Standards for Regenerative Agriculture (2018, background): “Agroforestry can significantly improve ecosystem services and enhance biodiversity conservation on degraded agricultural land and deforested areas [54,55].”
Emptying the Forest: Hunting and the Extirpation of Wildlife from Tropical Nature Reserves (2011, background): “Finally, greater efforts must be applied to improving the management of wildlife in secondary forests and other matrix habitats in the landscape outside protected areas (Chazdon 2008, Koh and Wilcove 2008, Prugh et al. 2008).”
Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “, 2008), clearly limit the potential of this expanding element of human-modified landscapes (Chazdon, 2008) to retain forest biodiversity.”
