Reforestation: Challenges and Themes in Reforestation Research

Abstract

Despite a continued focus within the land cover change arena on deforestation, the realization that reforestation, regrowth and forest regeneration are occurring globally has started to occur. While previously, such documentation had been found for developed countries, in more recent years this has also been found in developing nations, and seemingly due to a multitude of factors. This book pulls together many of the authors working on this topic, studying regions from around the globe, to understand these individual cases of reforestation and regrowth, and through this process to better understand the dominant processes, pathways and drivers of reforestation and forest regrowth on the landscape.
