Sentence examples for average deforestation rate from inspiring English sources

According to the atlas, Africa is losing more than 4m hectares of forest a year – twice the world's average deforestation rate, with some areas consequently losing over 50 tonnes of soil per hectare a year due to the erosion of exposed areas.

An average deforestation rate was estimated for the area covered by Tamaulipan thornscrub using land-use changes observed in this study and reported land-use changes, consistent with the total area covered by Tamaulipan thornscrub in Mexico and US for the 1950's [62, 63] and 2000 [31].

An average deforestation rate has the advantage that it is consistent with other regional land-use change estimates and smoothes the short spatial and temporal changes, but it has the disadvantage in that it is fixed over time, since land-cover change is a disjointed process, with irregular periods of rapid change [64].

Analysing Bolivia, Brazil and Colombia between 2000 and 2012, the report found average deforestation rates inside tenured indigenous forest were two to three times lower than outside.

The model showed more ability to calculate the spatial distribution of cropland suitability and continental average deforestation rates than to compute the spatial distribution of deforestation.

Similarly, global average deforestation rates are discussed that would require less historic deforestation data at the national level.

The regional average annual deforestation rate was 2.6%, but varied locally between −1.8% (regeneration) and 5.3%, with maximum rates in landscapes with 40 60% forest cover and highest edge densities, showing an analogous pattern to the spread of disease.

This expansion comes largely at the expense of forested land, although the average continental deforestation rate computed from 2000 to 2050 is lower than the computed rate for the 1990s.

Considering the average annual deforestation rate (1.85%) estimated from a) this study as 2.37%, b) by Treviño et al., [20] for the period of 1973 1994 as 2.2%, and c) by Maldonado [19] for the period of 1976 1986 as 1.1%, and current area reported by Palacios-Prieto [21], the Tamaulipan thornscrub of northeastern Mexico would have covered an area of 80,490 km2 in 1950.
