Abstract

Current forest recovery efforts in developing countries are different from previous efforts in developed countries, especially since the rise of economic globalization in the 1980s. Therefore, forest transition theory should now consider factors relating to industrialization, urbanization, and globalization. While previous studies have mainly focused on the variable trade of primary sector products, this study applies a more holistic research perspective and discusses, more widely, the links between trade, adjustment of trade structure, FDI, and forest transition. The results suggest that the total export value has a significant negative effect on forest area and volume, while the percentage of non-primary products has a significant positive impact on forest volume and density in the 76 developing countries studied. These results indicate that a country or region may improve the forest resource conditions by upgrading the export structure through the development of export-oriented manufacturing and servic...

经济全球化和贸易对森林转型的影响:来自76个发展中国家的证据

发展中国家目前的森林恢复努力与发达国家以往的努力不同，特别是自1980年代经济全球化兴起以来。因此，森林转型理论现在应该考虑与工业化、城市化和全球化有关的因素。以往的研究主要集中在第一部门产品的可变贸易上，而本研究采用了更全面的研究视角，更广泛地讨论了贸易、贸易结构调整、外国直接投资和森林转型之间的联系。结果表明，在所研究的76个发展中国家中，出口总值对森林面积和体积有显著的负面影响，而非初级产品的百分比对森林体积和密度有显著的积极影响。这些结果表明，一个国家或地区可以通过发展出口导向型制造业和服务业来升级出口结构，从而改善森林资源状况。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
