当森林覆盖率停止下降，森林覆盖率开始恢复时，地方就会经历森林转型。森林过渡发生在两种有时相互重叠的情况下。在一些地方，经济发展创造了足够的非农业就业机会，使农民离开土地，从而促使旧田地上的森林自发再生。在其他地方，森林产品的稀缺促使政府和土地所有者在一些领域种植树木。这些转变对保护生物多样性几乎没有什么作用，但它们确实可以固碳和保护土壤，因此政府应该高度重视促进它们。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Places experience forest transitions when declines in forest cover cease and recoveries in forest cover begin. Forest transitions have occurred in two, sometimes overlapping circumstances. In some places economic development has created enough non-farm jobs to pull farmers off of the land, thereby inducing the spontaneous regeneration of forests in old fields. In other places a scarcity of forest products has prompted governments and landowners to plant trees in some fields. The transitions do little to conserve biodiversity, but they do sequester carbon and conserve soil, so governments should place a high priority on promoting them. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
