We consider a simplified model based on a stochastic growth process driven by a continuous time random walk, which depicts the technological ...
Deforestation is defined as the conversion of forest to other land uses (regardless of whether it is human-induced). [14] Deforestation and forest area net change are not the same: the latter is the sum of all forest losses (deforestation) and all forest gains (forest expansion) in a given period.
