New forests can bring many benefits; however, public concern over wildfires create a dilemma for restoration ecologists, managers, and policy makers advocating forestation. In southern montane Zealand, destocking following pastoral tenure review forestation incentives have resulted in an increase woody vegetation, raising concerns fire risk. We used abundance-weighted community flammability met...

Landsat MSS and ETM+ images were analyzed to detect 25-year land-cover change (1976–2001) in the critical Taguibo Watershed in Mindanao Island, Southern Philippines. This watershed has experienced historical modifications of its land-cover due to the presence of logging industries in the 1950s, and continuous deforestation due to illegal logging and slash-and-burn agriculture in the present tim...

If the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it would be necessary to decide whether to include carbon sequestration policies—such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation—as part of the domestic portfolio of compliance activities. We investigate the cost of forest-based carbon sequestration by analyzing econometrically micro-data on reveal...
