Do roads lead to grassland degradation or restoration? A case study in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]
, 2011 We use satellite remote sensing data of grassland cover in Inner Mongolia, China to test whether the existence of and the size of roads in 1995 is associated with the nature of the grassland in 2000 and/or if it affects the rate of change of the ...
