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.
