Three countries (Ecuador, the Philippines, and Zambia) were selected for the study. The countries as a whole represent different forest transition (FT) stages and a diverse array of tropical forest cover change dynamics captured by different FT phases at the local scale (landscape). Three regions were selected to capture the different FT phases within each country, totalling up to nine regions. Within each of the nine regions, four landscapes of approximately 100-150km2 each were selected, thus resulting in 36 landscapes. Each of the 36 landscapes is located within adistinct country-specific administration unit (i.e., chiefdoms, parroquias, and municipalities in Zambia, Ecuador, and the Philippines, respectively), selected to ensure homogenous formal administration across landscapes. The landscapes represent their respective regions' typical land-use, socioeconomic, demographic, and biophysical attributes. For project information see www.la-foret.org.
