Beyond the economic support in terms of food, fuelwood, charcoal, wood, and timber supplies that investment towards forest environments provides, its contribution to environmental quality could also provide health benefits. Using data from 16 selected sub-Saharan African countries from 2002 to...

The present study explores the impacts of pesticide usage and burned biomass on the ecological footprints in OECD countries.
