• REDD and forest transition: Tunneling through the environmental Kuznets curve (2012, background): “The forest transition hypothesis argues that it is unlikely that the rate of deforestation will continue to increase over time, as the opportunity costs of deforestation rises with increased forest scarcity (Damette and Delacote, 2009; Ewers, 2006; Karsenty, 2008).”
• Reducing emissions from deforestation - the "combined incentives" mechanism and empirical simulations. (2009, background): “…noted that it ‘‘requires stable and predictable availability of resources’’ and requested its scientific body to undertake a programme of work on methodological issues related to a range of policies approaches and positive incentives aimed at reducing emissions from deforestation (UNFCCC, 2007c).”
• Do increases in agricultural yield spare land for nature? (2009, background): “…in definitions (Barbier & Burgess, 2001; Rudel et al., 2005; Grainger, 2008), likely overestimate actual forest loss compared with estimates from remote sensing (Achard et al., 2002), but remain the sole comprehensive source of national deforestation rates (Matthews, 2001; Ewers, 2006).”
• International wood trade and forest change: A global analysis (2011, background): “The patterns of land use transitions and forest change can be seen as a development along a gradient of increasing national level population densities and/or increasing average income levels (Grainger, 1995; Ewers, 2006).”
• Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, background): “Deforestation Rapid rates of deforestation are of major conservation concern, especially in tropical environments (Ewers 2006).”
