Visiting Student (2008)
I am a visiting student from University of Groningen. Here I am making an spatial explicit model of land use and land cover change of the Xishuangbanna prefecture. The rubber plantation have greatly changed the landscape of this place in 10 years. I will include both social economic and ecological drivers of land use changes in the model, in this way it may help to design future conservation priorities in a human-nature complex system.
