abstract = "The Pantanal is a wetland ecosystem with a seasonal cycle of
flooding and drydown. This creates a number of landscapes that are
heterogeneous spatially and temporally. These include freshwater
and saline lakes, periodically inundated grasslands and forested
sections that are highly heterogeneous in spatial arrangement and
in response to inundation. This region is well suited to perform
spatio-temporal analysis of land cover dynamics from SAR image
time series, since land cover types can exhibit great contrasts in
backscattering. In this study, we use seven ERS-1 SAR images from
December 1992 to November 1993. This period includes both seasonal
inundation followed by a significant climatic drought that
transformed the spatial structure of backscattering across the
landscape. Lacunarity analysis of the SAR image series captures
the spatio-temporal rearranging and illustrates how complex land
cover change can be quantified within a predictive framework.",
