Robert J. Zomer,Henry Neufeldt,Jianchu Xu,Antje Ahrends,Deborah A. Bossio,Antonio Trabucco,Meine van Noordwijk,Mingcheng Wang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the role of trees on agricultural land and their significance for carbon sequestration at a global level, along with recent change trends, finding that 43% of all agricultural land globally had at least 10% tree cover and that this has increased by 2% over the previous ten years.

Current trends of rubber plantation expansion may threaten biodiversity and livelihoods
Antje Ahrends,Antje Ahrends,Peter M. Hollingsworth,Peter M. Hollingsworth,Alan D. Ziegler,Jefferson Fox,Huafang Chen,Yufang Su,Jianchu Xu +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the subsequent spread of rubber between 2005 and 2010 in combination with environmental data and reports on rubber plantation performance and showed that rubber has been planted into increasingly sub-optimal environments.
