Matching Pairs - Modeling future projectionsOnline version MATCH UP by Micaela 1 Ecosystem services 2 LULC (Land Use and Land Cover) 3 Dinamica EGO 4 Anthropogenic 5 Deforestation The clearing or thinning of forests by humans. A modeling platform used for environmental simulations. The benefits that humans derive from ecosystems. Refers to the classification of land based on its use and cover type. Resulting from the influence of human beings. 1 Indigenous territories 2 Predictive factors 3 Spatial patterns 4 Biodiversity 5 Modeling variables used to forecast future events or trends. The process of creating a representation of a system to analyze its behavior. The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat. The arrangement of various elements in space Lands that are traditionally owned or occupied by indigenous peoples. 1 Erosion 2 Watersheds 3 Heuristic 4 Calibration 5 Transition matrix Areas of land that drain into a particular water body. A mathematical representation of the changes between different states in a system. The process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface. The process of adjusting a model to improve its accuracy. A problem-solving approach that employs a practical method not guaranteed to be optimal. 1 Mitigation 2 Expansion 3 Infrastructure 4 Projections 5 Conservation The action of reducing the severity or seriousness of something The basic physical systems of a business or nation, including transportation and communication systems. The process of increasing in size, number, or importance. Estimates or forecasts of future events based on current data The act of preserving, protecting, or restoring the natural environment. 1 Natural non-forest formation 2 Cattle ranching 3 Remote sensing 4 Sustainable development 5 Titled communities Communities that have legal ownership or title to their land. The practice of raising cattle for meat or dairy production. The acquisition of information about an object or area from a distance, typically using satellite or aerial imagery. Areas that are not classified as forest but are still natural ecosystems. Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
