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