TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the avoided deforestation impacts of environmental land registration in Brazil's Amazonian states of Mato Grosso and Para between 2005 and 2014 and found that the program reduced deforestation on registered lands The magnitude of the effect implies that deforestation in the two states would have been 10% higher in the absence of the program.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the extent of tree planting on smallholder woodlots in southern and eastern Tanzania, in comparison to large-scale plantations, and they find that by year 2018, smallholder tree planting activities are harder to track than institutional efforts.
