LAND-USE CHANGE IN OIL PALM DOMINATED TROPICAL LANDSCAPES-AN AGENT-BASED MODEL TO EXPLORE ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRADE-OFFS.

Land-use change in oil palm dominated tropical landscapes-An agent-based model to explore ecological and socio-economic trade-offs.

Land-use changes have dramatically transformed tropical landscapes.We describe an ecological-economic land-use change model as an integrated, exploratory tool used to analyze how tropical land-use change affects ecological and socio-economic functions.The model analysis seeks to determine what kind of landscape mosaic can improve the ensemble of ec
