Global change and the intensification of agriculture in the tropics
Eric Keys,William J. McConnell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis attempts to bridge local and regional scales of LUCC by demonstrating the ways in which previously published case studies can be compared and used for a broader regional synthesis in the tropics.
Book ChapterDOI
Causes and Trajectories of Land-Use/Cover Change
Helmut Geist,William J. McConnell,Eric F. Lambin,Emilio F. Moran,Diógenes Salas Alves,Thomas Rudel +5 more
TL;DR: The Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) project as discussed by the authors applied a middle path that combines the richness of indepth case studies with the power of generalization gained from larger samples, thus drawing upon the strengths of both approaches.
