Monitoring of anthropogenic effects on forest ecosystems within the municipality of Vallières in the Republic of Haiti from 1984 to 2019

The forest resources within the municipality of Vallières in the Republic of Haiti are subject to ever-increasing anthropogenic pressures, leading to a reduction in their area and the degradation of their ecosystem services. This study quantified the spatial pattern changes of forest ecosystems with...
