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.
