Landscape trajectories and their effect on fragmentation for a Mediterranean semi-arid ecosystem in Central Chile

2016-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Changes in land use and land cover reflect anthropogenic effects in areas with a long history of human occupation, such as Mediterranean regions. To understand the landscape dynamics of a semi-arid Mediterranean ecosystem in Chile, we evaluated land-cover trajectories and their effects on landscape spatial patterns over a period of 36 years (1975–2011). We used landscape metrics combined with surveys of landowners...
