Holocene land-cover reconstructions for studies on land cover-climate feedbacks [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2010 The major objectives of this paper are: (1) to review the pros and cons of the scenarios of past anthropogenic land cover change (ALCC) developed during the last ten years, (2) to discuss issues related to pollen-based reconstruction of the past land ...

Development of scenarios for land cover, population density, impervious cover, and conservation in New Hampshire, 2010–2100 [PDF]
, 2017 Future changes in ecosystem services will depend heavily on changes in land cover and land use, which, in turn, are shaped by human activities. Given the challenges of predicting long-term changes in human behaviors and activities, scenarios provide a ...

High resolution analysis of tropical forest fragmentation and its impact on the global carbon cycle
Nature Communications, 2017 Vast quantities of carbon stored in tropical forests are threatened by deforestation. Here, using high resolution satellite data, Brincket al. examine how edge effects influence carbon emissions and they find an additional 10.3 Gt of carbon are released ...

Modelling Spatial Compositional Data: Reconstructions of past land cover and uncertainties [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper, we construct a hierarchical model for spatial compositional data, which is used to reconstruct past land-cover compositions (in terms of coniferous forest, broadleaved forest, and unforested/open land) for five time periods during the past
