Description
- The authors present a tripartite framework of forest dynamics (TFFD) to integrate multiple theoretical explanations for land use and land cover change (LULCC) and the contextual differences between them.
- Three different frameworks are:
- Hierarchical framework - organizes causal pathways by spatial scale and the different social actors that operate on a specific scale.
- Adaptive cycle framework - organizes causal pathways by temporal scale - short, medium, and long term dynamics. Also, the panarchic framework which addresses slow-fast shifts.
- Heterarchy - incorporates changes in the causal structure for hierachical and panarchic frameworks.
- Ideally, this can reduce the problems associated with competing explanations of causation of secondary growth forests.
