Do increases in agricultural yield spare land for nature? (2009, background): “Even so, increasing yields from technological innovations have been credited with avoiding the need to convert large areas of uncultivated land across the planet (Goklany, 1998; Barbier, 2004; Mooney et al., 2005).”
The forest transition: Towards a more comprehensive theoretical framework☆ (2010, background): “Three sequential phases underlie this rocess (Barbier, 2004a,b, 2005).”
Interaction effects between economic development and forest cover determine deforestation rates (2006, methodology): “But the reverse process also appears to happen; poor nations may be relying heavily on conversion of native forests to spur economic growth (e.g. Barbier, 2004; Naidoo, 2004), but they are still too poor to be in a position to replace them, leading to a downward spiral in environmental quality and…”
The yield gap of global grain production: A spatial analysis (2010, background): “The role of agricultural intensification as key to increasing actual crop yields and food supply has been discussed in several studies (Ruttan, 2002; Tilman et al., 2002; Barbier, 2003; Keys and McConnell, 2005).”
The role of pasture and soybean in deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon (2010, background): “Economic development in the region, international market demand, and government policies, have led to the transformation of natural ecosystems into agricultural land and the intensification of land use (Barbier 2004, Heyck and Lynn 2002, Nepstad et al 2006).”
