Land Cover Change in Mixed Agroforestry: Shade Coffee in El Salvador [PDF]
Little is known about land cover change in mixed agroforestry systems, which often supply valuable ecological services. We use a spatial regression model to analyze clearing in El Salvador’s shade coffee–growing regions during the 1990s.
