Regional climate modeling studies now have numerous choices in selecting land use/land cover (LULC) products to provide land surface parameter information. The various LULC products were developed with different objectives, methods and data sources. Not all new LULC products have land classes tha...

This article discusses the evolution of participatory methods and their benefits and pitfalls in contributing to land use and land cover change (LULCC) analyses. Participation has become a practical means of developing a more complete assessment of societal change by bringing local people’s narra...

This report summarizes over 20 years of research on land use change patterns and processes in case study sites across Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to provide information on the evolution of livestock in the systems. Many of the case study sites cross-ecological gradients, from the Highlands to the ...

Implications of trends in land use change for livestock systems evolution in East Africa: lessons from the LUCID project
We present an integrated methodology composed of a role-playing game on land adjudication from which we extract narrative and spatially explicit drivers of land-use decisions. We show how geographic information systems (GIS), qualitative decision-matrix analyses, a simple rule-based model using m...

Capability to represent effects of fertilization has been added to the Prognosis Model for Stand Development. As implemented in version 6, the extension is calibrated only for applications of 200 lb nitrogen applied in the form of urea. Direct and indirect effects are based on growth 10 years aft...
