A Structural Equation Modeling Approach to Disentangling Regional-Scale Landscape Dynamics in Ghana

Abstract: Land cover (LC) change is an integrative indicator of changes in ecosystems due to anthropogenic or natural forcings. There is a significant interest in the investigation of spatio-temporal patterns of LC transitions, and the causes and consequences thereof. While the advent of satellite remote sensing techniques have enhanced our ability to track and measure LC changes across the globe, significant gaps remain in disentangling specific factors that influence, or in certain cases, are influenced by, LC change.… Show more

“…Similarly, in its second Research and Action Plan (WRAP 2.0), WASCAL is supporting high-resolution LULC mapping through two projects, namely "greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigation options under climate and land use change in West Africa concerted regional modeling and assessment (CONCERT WEST AFRICA)" and "land surface processes as a determinant of climate change in Africascenarios, high-resolution modeling and development of a stakeholder data portal (LANDSURF)" [11]. The SERVIR Applied Science Teams have recently supported activities related to future land use scenario development and integration of time series earth observation data for land use planning [12,13]. The diversity of land cover mapping projects in the absence of a harmonized classification system necessitated the establishment of the West Africa Land Cover Task Force (WALC-TF) to moderate land cover mapping and monitoring initiatives in West Africa and ensure the harmonization of disparate legends in the sub-region.…”

“…The processes of landscape reworking are changing the faces of cities and territories day by day, creating landscapes in which it is increasingly difficult to trace the traditional codes or statutes of places that seem to be characterized by disorder, perhaps apparent in [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”
