- W2045776312 abstract "A world without forests would challenge life on earth. Forests maintain biodiversity, influence the climate, and regulate the water cycle, says Eric Lambin, a professor of earth sciences at Stanford University and a recently elected member of the National Academy of Sciences. However, as the world's population swells, forest loss accelerates. To feed the world's growing population, it will be necessary to clear an estimated 2.7–4.9 million hectares of cropland per year, even while expanding urban centers shrink the available land by 1.6–3.3 million hectares per year (1).Eric F. Lambin.Land use variations in the highlands of Vietnam. Courtesy of Patrick Meyfroidt.Deforestation seems like such an overwhelming problem that most people have given up trying to measure it, says Lambin, who divides his time between Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, and the Universite Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. But through decades of research, Lambin has shown that land use change is indeed quantifiable, thanks to the emergence of satellites that capture sweeping images of Earth. Overlaying those satellite images with socioeconomic data from specific locales can reveal the source and spread of land use change: a so-called people-to-pixels approach.Lambin adopted that approach as a young doctoral student in sub-Saharan Africa in the mid-1980s and has expanded it throughout his career. In his Inaugural Article, he highlights how linking remote sensing and trade data can track land use changes occurring far from the source of the problem. For instance, says Lambin, the rise of biofuels has prompted farmers to divert crops such as corn or soybeans from food to fuel markets. Because the demand for the food crop remains, the change leads to changes elsewhere in the world, a cascade effect that eventually reaches the edge of the forest. “Proponents of biofuels say these effects are …" @default.
