Changes in forest cover in Sierra Nevada, Mexico, 1994–2015

Abstract: Sierra Nevada, 153,437 ha, has the second and third highest mountains in Mexico and the most conserved coniferous forests of central Mexico. It comprises the Los Volcanes Biosphere Reserve, designated by UNESCO in 2010. A map was produced at 1:100,000 scale. Recent changes in forest cover were identified by visual interpretation of orthophotographs from 1994 and Spot 7 images from 2015. Changes were detected in forest cover density (closed, semi-closed, semi-open, open or deforested), together with a non-fores… Show more

“…Historical maps are used in earth sciences and serve as a powerful tool for geomorphological analysis and reconstruction, in particular in areas affected by rapid morphologic change and modified by human activity, e.g. reconstructing salt marsh losses (Bromberg & Bertness, 2005), long term analysis of land cover change (Pătru-Stupariu et al, 2011), rapid mapping of urban development from scanned historical maps (Visser, 2014), reconstructing historic European land cover/use change (Fuchs et al, 2015), reconstructing the hydrographical network and geomorphological setting (Furlanetto & Bondesan, 2015), reconstructing historic forest area and historic forest types (Munteanu et al, 2015), reconstructing water areas (Pavelková et al, 2016), historic analyses of land use of the Carpathian area (Lieskovský et al, 2018), studies of forest cover changes (Godziek & Szypuła, 2018, 2020López-García, 2019) or research on historical land-use and land-cover of urban areas (Drummond et al, 2019).…”
