• Oil palm expansion among smallholder farmers in Sumatra, Indonesia (2016, background): “…and deforestation is likely, contributing to biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, and related environmental problems (Margono et al., 2014; Wilcove and Koh, 2010; Buttler and Laurence, 2009; Danielsen et al., 2009; Fitzherbert et al., 2008; Koh and Wilcove, 2008; Miyamoto, 2006).”
• Biodiversity conservation in the era of biofuels: risks and opportunities (2011, methodology): “…of their historical ranges, both genera are native to North America. n Land-use change and biodiversity We used a meta-analysis to examine the biodiversity consequences of potential land-use conversions from natural habitats (sensu Brockerhoff et al. 2008; Danielsen et al. 2009) to biofuel crops.”
• Avoiding bio‐perversity from carbon sequestration solutions (2012, background): “…trees may take longer to produce a net carbon gain and ultimately store less carbon in aboveground biomass and soil organic carbon than native primary forests, secondary (regenerating) native forests, and multistrata agro-forestry plantings (Danielsen et al. 2009; Kanowski & Catterall 2011).”
• The impacts and opportunities of oil palm in Southeast Asia: What do we know and what do we need to know? (2009, background): “Greenhouse gas emissions | 27 Estimates of the time required for oil palm to make a positive carbon contribution vary between 71 and 93 years for oil palm planted following forest conversion and more than 600 years on peat swamp (Danielsen et al. 2008, Gibbs et al. 2008).”
• Closing yield gaps in oil palm production systems in Ghana through Best Management Practices (2020, background): “, 2012), though much of the area expansion has been at the expense of logged-over tropical rainforest (Danielsen et al., 2009; Fitzherbert et al., 2008; Koh and Wilcove, 2008).”
• Sustainable Development Goals and the Forest Sector—a Complex Relationship (2019, background): “However, there are trade-offs between this substitution and biodiversity [41].”
• Oil Palm Adoption, Household Welfare, and Nutrition Among Smallholder Farmers in Indonesia (2017, background): “…consequences of the oil palm boom have received considerable attention in the literature (Buttler & Laurence, 2009; Carrasco et al., 2014; Danielsen et al., 2009; Koh & Lee, 2012; Margono, Potapov, Turubanova, Stolle, & Hansen, 2014; Wilcove & Koh, 2010), empirical studies on…”
• Why do Farmers Prefer Oil Palm? Lessons Learnt from Bungo District, Indonesia (2010, background): “…are a major cause of deforestation, the role of biofuel production in carbon storage is still unclear, and the impact of large estates on water regulation is still under debate (Sargeant 2001; WWF 2002; Lamade and Bouillet 2005; Simorangkir 2007; Germer and Sauerborn 2008; Danielsen et al. 2009).”
