Modelling land cover change in the Brazilian Amazon: temporal changes in drivers and calibration issues

Land cover change (LCC) models are used in many studies of human impacts on the environment, but knowing how well these models predict observed changes in the landscape is a challenge. We used nearly three decades of LCC maps to run several LCC simulations to: (1) determine which parameters associat...
