Land use in the southern Yucatán peninsular region of Mexico: Scenarios of population and institutional change
Land-use and land-cover change, human activity that results in altered land-use systems and surface features, defines the environmental and socioeconomic sustainability of communities around the globe. It is a key response to global environmental change in addition to being both a key cause and medium of this change. This article examines an application of the Southern Yucatán Peninsular Region...
متن کاملAgent - based modeling and genetic programming for modeling land change in the Southern Yucatán
Abstract: Land-use and land-cover change research increasingly takes the form of integrated land-change science, the explicit joining of ecological, social, and information sciences. Traditional interdisciplinary methods are buttressed by new ones stemming from computational intelligence research and the complexity sciences. Several of these—genetic programming, cellular modeling, and agent-bas...
متن کاملLand change in the southern Yucatán and Calakmul biosphere reserve: effects on habitat and biodiversity.
The southern Yucatán contains the largest expanse of seasonal tropical forests remaining in Mexico, forming an ecocline between the drier north of the peninsula and the humid Petén, Guatemala. The Calakmul Biosphere Reserve resides in the center of this region as part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. The reserve's functions are examined in regard to land changes throughout the region, g...
متن کاملLand-Cover-Change Trajectories in Southern Cameroon
The objective of this study is to better understand the complexity of deforestation processes in southern Cameroon by testing a multivariate, spatial model of land-cover change trajectories associated with deforestation. The spatial model integrates a spectrum of independent variables that characterize land rent on a spatially explicit basis. The use of a time series of high-spatialresolution r...
متن کاملInvestigation of the process of land cover change using metrics and land change processes in Gorganrood watershed
Aims and Background: The present study purpose to investigate and predict the changes of metrics and Landscape change processes in the Gorganrood watershed in Golestan province. Methodology: First, land cover maps were prepared in 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020. Then predict land cover changes for future conditions, under two scenarios (1) continuation of the current trend of change for 2040 and (...
