abstract = "We present a remote sensing sampling approach to assess land cover
changes between years 1990 and 2010 for the Cerrado biome. Despite
the fact that natural vegetation cover of this biome has been
heavily converted into agricultural lands over the past decades,
there is still a lack of detailed and historical information about
vegetation cover changes at the biome scale. The sampling design
and image processing techniques were developed by the Joint
Research Centre (JRC) Tropical Ecosystem Environment Observation
by Satellite (TREES-3) project. A set of 175 regularly distributed
sample units (with10 km x 10 km size) located at every full degree
confluence point of latitude and longitude were assessed. For each
sample unit, (E)TM Landsat images from three target years (1990,
2000 and 2010) were selected, pre-processed, segmented and
classified into five land cover classes (Tree Cover - TC, Tree
Cover Mosaic - TCM, Other Wooded Land - OWL, Other Land Cover -
OLC and Water -W). The results showed that the Cerrado had a net
loss of natural vegetation (TC + OWL) of about 12 million hectares
between 1990 and 2010, or an average rate of change of -0.6% y-1.
However, the rates of change decreased from the first (1990-2000)
to the second (2000-2010) decade. By 2010, the percentage of
natural vegetation cover remaining in the Cerrado was 47%.",
