1. Introduction Deforestation Dynamics: A Review and Evaluation of Theoretical Approaches and Evidence from Greece Serafeim Polyzos and Dionysios Minetos University of Thessaly, Department of Planning and Regional Development, Pedion Areos, Volos, Greece Amongst others, forest land use changes occur for multiple reasons and from interacting processes and mechanisms. Human-driven changes, at an array of scales, are affecting forest ecosystems accelerating changes such as global warming with adverse consequences on human well being. Research has demonstrated that, in the long term, there is to not a single factor or set of factors that can explain the emerging patterns of land uses and their associated changes (Chomitz and Gray 1996; Lambin, Turner et al. 2001; Aspinall 2004). Yet, the importance of forests on global environmental issues such as biodiversity loss and global warming is apparent. Deforestation processes have different characteristics across space and time (Verburg, Schulp et al. 2006). A particular combination of factors that may explain deforestation pattern somewhere, might not be applicable for justifying change in any other location or time period (Mahapatra and Kant 2005). Therefore, there is a need for conducting empirical investigations in order to analyse and understand the geographical and historical context of land use changes. In addition, forest fragmentation, conversion and modification have significant economic, social and environmental implications (Elands and Wiersum 2001; Walker 2001; Platt 2004; Verburg, Overmars et al. 2006) such as disruption in continuity of the natural landscape, forest and open-land constriction between agricultural and urban land uses, deterioration of vital habitats that sustain valuable biodiversity as well as broader issues such as air pollution. In this paper, we concentrate on reviewing and evaluating deforestation-related theoretical schemata. We introduce a representative collection of theories dealing, directly or indirectly with deforestation processes in order to provide guidance to an appreciation of the past and the future land use patterns. In addition, we give evidence of recent deforestation dynamics in Greece. 2. Framework of review and evaluation Theories are presented in a timeline context. There is also a set of criteria used for the evaluation. The criteria are presented in table 1. 7
