A matrix clustering method to explore patterns of land-cover transitions in satellite-derived maps of the Brazilian Amazon
Changes in land-use systems in tropical regions, including deforestation, are a key challenge for global sustainability because of their huge impacts on green-house gas emissions, local climate and biodiversity. However, the dynamics of land-use and land-cover change in regions of frontier expansion...
