TL;DR: The wildland-urban interface (WUI) is the area where houses and wildland vegetation meet or intermingle, and where wildfire problems are most pronounced, and grew rapidly from 1990 to 2010, making it the fastest-growing land use type in the conterminous United States.

Land Sparing Versus Land Sharing: Moving Forward
Jörn Fischer,David J. Abson,Van Butsic,Van Butsic,M. Jahi Chappell,M. Jahi Chappell,Johan Ekroos,Jan Hanspach,Tobias Kuemmerle,Henrik G. Smith,Henrik von Wehrden +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a framework has been proposed that distinguishes between the integration (land sharing) and separation (land sparing) of conservation and production to address the challenges of biodiversity conservation and commodity production.

Drivers of forest harvesting intensity patterns in Europe
Christian Levers,Pieter Johannes Verkerk,Daniel Müller,Daniel Müller,Peter H. Verburg,Van Butsic,Van Butsic,Pedro J. Leitão,Marcus Lindner,Tobias Kuemmerle,Tobias Kuemmerle +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used boosted regression trees to analyse the spatial determinants of forest harvesting intensity using a comprehensive set of biophysical and socioeconomic explanatory variables, and found the relationship between harvesting intensity and some of its predictors to be strongly non-linear and characterised by thresholds.
