Abstract

Understanding the nature and the amount of land cover change are important issues among land use planners and environmental scientists, because these changes are one notable source of global environmental problems, with deep and disturbing impacts on ecological, hydrological, soil evolution, and on society at large. These changes usually have an obvious anthropogenic source, but several ecological and geographic variables such as industry, fossil fuels, and transportation also influence the nature and magnitude of these changes. Land transformation, habitat degradation, and fragmentation are typical processes that cause the transformation of biomes in this region. From this perspective, the study of the problem anthropogenic landscape transformation is necessary and practical.
