Reforesting Landscapes: Linking Pattern and Process [Paperback]

The 21^st century has seen the beginnings of a great restoration effort towards the worlds forests, accompanied by the emergence of an increasing literature on reforestation, regeneration and regrowth of forest cover. Yet to date, there is no volume which synthesises current knowledge on the extent, trends, patterns and drivers of reforestation.

This edited volume draws together research from leading researchers to explore reforestation and forest regrowth across the world, from multiple dimensions  including ecosystem services, protected areas, social institutions, economic transitions, remediation of environmental problems, conservation and land abandonment  and at different scales.

Detailing the methods and analyses used from across a wide range of disciplines, and incorporating research from North, South and Central America, Africa, Asia and Europe, this groundbreaking book provides a global overview of current trends, explores their underlying causes and proposes future forest trajectories. The first of its kind, the book will provide an invaluable reference for researchers and students involved in interdisciplinary research and working on issues relevant to the biophysical, geographic, socioeconomic and institutional processes associated with reforestation.

Reforestation efforts have proliferated everywhere. This edited text offers research that explores reforestation across the globe. It covers multiple perspectives, including social, economic and environmental, and it accounts for a wide variety of scales.
