Trends in size of tropical deforestation events signal increasing dominance of industrial-scale drivers
Kemen Austin,Mariano González-Roglich,Mariano González-Roglich,Danica Schaffer-Smith,Amanda M. Schwantes,Jennifer J. Swenson +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined trends in forest clearings of different sizes from 2000-2012 by country, region and development level, and provided up-to-date and spatially explicit information on the scale of deforestation and the trends in these patterns over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Issues in Central Africa
TL;DR: This article reviewed current knowledge of how the Central African forests have been shaped by climate and human activity within the region and assessed how they may evolve under future climate change, population growth, and the Anthropocene race for wealth and energy.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 117 studies to determine the impacts of land tenure security on socio-environmental outcomes and sustainable development is presented in this paper, where the majority of studies assessed government-implemented interventions that statutorily recognized rights through land titling and formalization.

Road expansion and persistence in forests of the Congo Basin
Fritz Kleinschroth,Nadine Laporte,William F. Laurance,Scott J. Goetz,Jaboury Ghazoul,Jaboury Ghazoul,Jaboury Ghazoul +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the total length of road networks inside logging concessions in Central Africa has doubled since 2003, whereas the overall length of roads outside concessions has increased by 40%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poverty reduction saves forests sustainably: Lessons for deforestation policies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the main factors influencing forest area change by synthesizing the results of a multinational data analysis, a Malaysian socio-economic survey, and Indonesian household surveys on deforestation that were conducted between 1990 and 2014.

Helkowski,Tracey Holloway,Erica A. Howard,Christopher J. Kucharik,Chad Monfreda,Jonathan A. Patz,I. Colin Prentice,Navin Ramankutty,Peter K. Snyder +19 more
TL;DR: Global croplands, pastures, plantations, and urban areas have expanded in recent decades, accompanied by large increases in energy, water, and fertilizer consumption, along with considerable losses of biodiversity.

TL;DR: Intensive forestry practiced within subtropical forests resulted in the highest rates of forest change globally, and boreal forest loss due largely to fire and forestry was second to that in the tropics in absolute and proportional terms.

Some practical guidance for the implementation of propensity score matching
Marco Caliendo,Sabine Kopeinig +1 more
TL;DR: Propensity score matching (PSM) has become a popular approach to estimate causal treatment effects as discussed by the authors, but empirical examples can be found in very diverse fields of study, and each implementation step involves a lot of decisions and different approaches can be thought of.

Large Sample Properties of Matching Estimators for Average Treatment Effects
Alberto Abadie,Guido W. Imbens +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed new methods for analyzing the large sample properties of matching estimators and established a number of new results, such as the following: Matching estimators with replacement with a fixed number of matches are not N 1/2 -consistent.
