A dynamic simulation model of land-use changes in Sudano-sahelian countries of Africa (SALU)

2001-06-01

Abstract excerpt

This paper presents a simulation model to project land-cover changes at a national scale for Sudano-sahelian countries. The aim of this study is to better understand the driving forces of land-use change and to reconstruct past changes. The structure of our model is heavily determined by its spatially aggregated level. This model represents, in a dynamic way, a simplified version of our current understanding of th...
