Detecting dynamic changes in vegetation patterns in areas of semi-natural Vegetation in southern Chile

The objective of the Master-Thesis is to classify a series of historical aereal photographes due to vegetation cover and to analyse temporal changes in vegetation patterns. These information should be used to identify areas of progressive degradation of forest to shrubland, areas of forest succession due to abandonment, and aereas with a dynamic conversion between shrubland and human-induced types of land cover, in particular pastures.
