Fuelwood sustainability revisited: integrating size structure and resprouting into a spatially realistic fuelshed model
2016-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Much concern has been expressed about the sustainability of fuelwood harvesting in Africa. Most models predict that demand will outstrip supply within a few decades, resulting in severe deforestation. However, despite substantial impacts of harvesting on woody vegetation structure, the ‘fuelwood crisis’ predicted since the 1970s has not materialized.
