Proximate causes and underlying driving forces of tropical deforestation.
Helmut Geist,Eric F. Lambin +1 more
TL;DR: Tropical deforestation is driven by identifiable regional patterns of causal factor synergies, of which the most prominent are economic factors, institutions, national policies, and remote influences driving agricultural expansion, wood extraction, and infrastructure extension (at the proximate level).

A Meta-Analysis of Global Urban Land Expansion
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 326 studies that have used remotely sensed images to map urban land conversion suggests that contemporary urban expansion is related to a variety of factors difficult to observe comprehensively at the global level, including international capital flows, the informal economy, land use policy, and generalized transport costs.

The Importance of Land-Use Legacies to Ecology and Conservation
David R. Foster,Frederick J. Swanson,John D. Aber,Ingrid C. Burke,Nicholas Brokaw,David Tilman,Alan K. Knapp +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of land-use history and its legacies in most ecological systems has been recognized as a legitimate and essential subject of environmental science, and recognition of these historical legacies adds explanatory power to our understanding of modern conditions at scales from organisms to the globe and reduces missteps in anticipating or managing for future conditions.
