Abstract:
Since 1954, most upper tributary watersheds in Northern Thailand have seen a
decline in forest cover, accompanied by increases in agricultural cover and
population density. There has also been increasing concern about the
implications of forest loss and fragmentation for biological and cultural
diversity, sustainable resource use, and longer-term economic conditions of
the region. Outcomes of individual land use decisions have been linked with
measures of landscape fragmentation and change to illustrate the hierarchy
of temporal and spatial events that, in summation, result in wider biome
changes (Fox et al, 1995). Since local conditions and populations vary,
however, patterns of land use change are not uniform over space and time.
