Major trends found in the study include increasing agricultural production across tracts of brushland, the break up of low land haciendas due to agrarian reform, and increasingly mixed forest composition as timber becomes a more important commodity for economic use.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightLand use managementLand use changeLand use categoriesEcosystem WatershedAbstractCopyright CAB International 2006
