Abstract In the context of growing societal demands for land-based products, crop production can be increased through expanding cropland or intensifying on cultivated land. Intensification allow sparing land nature, but it also drive further expansion cropland, i.e. a rebound effect. Conversely, constraints may induce intensification. We tested these hypotheses by investigating bidirectional relationships between changes in area and intensity, using global cross-country panel dataset over 55...
Forest dynamics are changing at a local and global level, with multiple social environmental implications. The current literature points to different theories hypotheses explain these forest dynamics. In this paper, we formalized some of those theories, the Kuznets curve (EKC), transition ecologically unequal exchange, into tested panel dataset covering 111 countries during period 1992–2015. Considering nature our data, relied on cointegration techniques assess both long- short-run in...
Land use expansion is linked to major sustainability concerns including climate change, food security and biodiversity loss. This largely concentrated in so-called frontiers, defined here as places experiencing marked transformations due rapid resource exploitation. Understanding the mechanisms shaping these frontiers crucial for sustainability. Previous work focused mainly on explaining how active advance, particular into tropical forests. Comparatively, our understanding of emerge...
