Abstract:

This project implements a conceptual framework based on landscape ecology that will enable statistical work on both the drivers of land use and land cover change, and the impacts on ecosystem structure and function that follow as a consequence. To this end, the project is developing a suite of remotes sensing products that will be used in the Brazilian Amazon and Costa Rica.
