TL;DR: In this article, two types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with nonclimatic factors, such as high exposure and/or vulnerability).

McDermott,David McLaughlin,Peter Newton,Christoph Nolte,Pablo Pacheco,Lisa Rausch,Charlotte Streck,Tannis Thorlakson,Nathalie F. Walker +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review current supply chain initiatives, their effectiveness, and the challenges they face, and identify knowledge gaps for complementary public-private policies to increase the effectiveness of supply-chain initiatives that aim to reduce deforestation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It was found that certification significantly reduced deforestation, but not fire or peatland clearance, among participating plantations, and certification had no causal impact on forest loss in peatlands or active fire detection rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A plantation-dominated forest transition in Chile
TL;DR: In this article, a historical review of Chile's forest resources was conducted to identify multiple discrete forest transitions throughout Chile's history and found that increases in forest cover were largely driven by the expansion of forest plantations, rather than through native forest regeneration.
