This study examines channel change in a southern Ontario basin that has been partly reforested over the past 50 years, and tests the ability of an equation to explain these changes.
In 19th century France, concepts of alpine degradation formed the basis of ambitious state policies to reforest the mountains. The Second-Empire and early Third-Republic regimes formulated legislation allowing for both volontary and mandatory alpine
reforestation projects. The latter regime's law of 1882 on the restoration and conservation of alpine lands was more conciliatory toward alpine agro-pastoralists. Ultimately, geographers and some foresters revised scientific thinking about the history

In order to begin to assess the impact of reforestation on soil organic carbon, soil temperature was measured within 4 different land cover types representing various stages of secondary succession following agricultural abandonment. Over 40 000
soil temperature observations were summarized by pedothermic period in order to characterize seasonale differences between cover types and to determine how mean annual temperature changes during reforestation. Overall, results suggest that as succession
Land reclamation by reforestation in the Central Pyrenees in Special issue on the Spanish Pyrenees.
Pine plantations over the past 30 years have been widely established on much abandoned farm land below 1 88 m a.s.l., but much more in the Central, than the Western, Pyrenees. The effect of reforestation on cattle raising has been negative and mass
Could old colonization zones in the urbanizing and industrializing countries of Latin America become sites for a tropical forest transition in which reforestation becomes more prevalent than deforestation ? The AA. try to answer this question
through a case study of land-use change and migration since 1985 in a long-settled region of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Data reveal two disparate patterns of reforestation in the region, one on peripheral lands far from roads and the other on lands close
to roads. Tropical forest transitions may differ from earlier temperate forest transitions in that reforestation does not signify land abandonment.
In this paper, the AA. characterize the long-term effect of reforestation on the stabilization of soils affected by strong gully erosion in Prietrž village in South-Western Slovakia. Permanent gullies there were reforested a century ago
with the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). Reforestation measures induced soil profile development on the gully slopes with distinct humus horizons. The overall effect of the observed changes is an increase in the aggregate stability of these reforested gully

In this paper, the impact of human interference and especially the effects of reforestation on the river morphology of the Dragonja river is studied. Furthermore, the spatial variability of river response to land-use change in the catchment
