CALIBRATING CELLULAR AUTOMATA OF LAND USE/COVER CHANGE MODELS USING A GENETIC ALGORITHM

Spatially explicit land use / land cover (LUCC) models aim at simulating the patterns of change on the landscape. In order to simulate landscape structure, the simulation procedures of most computational LUCC models use a cellular automata to replicate the land use / cover patches. Generally, model...
