The expansion of large-scale tree plantations: Detection, pathways, and development trade-offs

Abstract: Tree plantations can contribute to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by creating job opportunities, storing carbon, and providing wood products that relieve pressure on natural forests. However, their impacts on SDGs are largely contingent upon the land uses they replace. Here we present a framework for understanding the development trade-offs associated with tree plantations and we introduce a new remote sensing technique to detect their expansion and pre-conversion land use.
