TL;DR: Assessment of the dynamics of forest cover in China between 2000 and 2010 and the effectiveness of one of the largest forest conservation programs in the world—the Natural Forest Conservation Program (NFCP) indicate that forest cover has significantly increased and that the areas exhibiting forest gain experienced a combined increase in net primary productivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied the new integrated framework of telecouplings (socioeconomic and environmental interactions between two or more areas over distances) and found that even a protected area (i.e., the Wolong Nature Reserve for giant pandas in southwest China) has multiple tele-coupling processes with the rest of the world; these include panda loans, tourism, information dissemination, conservation subsidies, and trade of aricultural and industrial products.

TL;DR: In this paper, a typology of spillover systems based on six criteria: flows from and to sending and receiving systems, distances from sender and receiver, types of spill over effects, sizes of spill-over systems, roles of agents in spillover system, and the origin of spillovers are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the iconic giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ) as a model species and presented an advanced approach to evaluate its habitat change across an entire geographic range through the integration of time-series satellite imagery and field data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the telecoupling framework to evaluate the spillover effects of two supply chain agreements implemented in the Amazon biome as examples and evaluated their spillover effect to the Cerrado.
