Land Cover Change in Colombia: Surprising Forest Recovery Trends between 2001 and 2010

摘要

BackgroundMonitoring land change at multiple spatial scales is essential for identifying hotspots of change, and for developing and implementing policies for conserving biodiversity and habitats. In the high diversity country of Colombia, these types of analyses are difficult because there is no consistent wall-to-wall, multi-temporal dataset for land-use and land-cover change.
