Promoting natural regeneration can be a viable strategy to achieve ambitious restoration
commitments, but predicting where native forest cover is likely to expand is challenging …

Land‐use and land‐cover (LULC) change is one of the largest drivers of biodiversity loss
and carbon emissions globally. We use the tropical rainforests of the Amazon, the Congo …

Abstract Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) are important drivers of environmental
changes in the tropics. Amazônia Legal has showed some declines in deforestation rates …

Abstract Context The forests of Borneo have among the highest biodiversity and also the
highest forest loss rates on the planet. Objectives Our objectives were to:(1) compare …

In the Amazon rainforest, land use following deforestation is diverse and dynamic. Mounting
evidence indicates that the climatic impacts of forest loss can also vary considerably …

A critical issue in urban cellular automata (CA) modeling concerns the identification of
transition rules that generate realistic urban land use patterns. Recent studies have …

Landscape ecology has brought spatial analysis and geospatial modeling to the forefront of
ecological research. In this study, we investigated changes in landscape structure and the …

We coupled a spatially-explicit land use/land cover (LULC) change model, Dinamica
EGO,(Environment for Geoprocessing Objects), with the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model …

Tropical forests are diminishing in extent due primarily to the rapid expansion of agriculture,
but the future magnitude and geographical distribution of future tropical deforestation is …

Characterizing and managing deforestation are some of the most urgent environmental
challenges in the tropics. Forest loss depends on multiple drivers that relate to ecological …
