Deforestation driven by urban population growth and agricultural trade in the twenty-first century
Reducing atmospheric carbon emissions from tropical deforestation is at present considered a cost-effective option for mitigating climate change. However, the forces associated with tropical forest loss are uncertain. Here we use satellite-based estimates of forest loss for 2000 to 2005 to assess economic, agricultural and demographic correlates across 41 countries in the humid tropics.
