Between 2125 and 750 cal year BP, increased forest cover produced more background charcoal than before and after this period, when vegetation was dominated by steppe.
Through a panel instrumental variables approach we found that: i) conflict increased forest cover loss, ii) mining concessions increased forest cover loss, but in times of conflict this impact was lessened, and iii) protected areas reduced forest cover loss, even in high conflict regions.
We find that interior villages have a negative impact on regeneration, but there is a decline in tree species diversity, and increased forest cover change and fragmentation at the park periphery.
Its innovative community forest program has massively increased forest cover across Nepal and has improved degraded lands' ability to serve some 20,000 communities' economic needs, protect biodiversity, improve water management, and sequester carbon.
In the present study we used Landsat images from southern Madagascar from three different years (1984 , 1993and 2000) and covering 5500 km2, and made a time-series analysis of three distinct large-scale patterns: 1) loss of forest cover, 2) increased forest cover, and 3) stable forest cover.
In the multivariate analysis, a significant association with malaria was observed for the effects of sex, age group, having 2 or fewer bed nets, increased forest cover, elevation and household density was similar to the results observed for the univariate models.
The first two seek to increase forest cover by planting or management techniques, while the third is for forested land that is at risk of conversion and meets the requirement of additionality.
Increasing forest cover has been the policy of various countries in recent decades.
As a result, in creating and increasing forest cover, trees often have to be planted by raising seedlings inside nurseries.
Increasing forest cover promoted species richness and size of flocks, with particularly strong associations in successional habitats and shade coffee.
