| Description: | Changes in land use and vegetation sustained by planet earth are evermore so relevant in understanding the elements of friction between agricultural communities and terrestrial ecosystems that sustain them. The objective of this study was to analyze changes in land use and vegetation in the indigenous community of Kashaama, Anzoátegui State, Venezuela. Digital images derived from a moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used that contain information on the different land use and vegetation coverage for the years 2001 through 2013. The studied indigenous community presents a significant transformation process from vegetation coverage to anthropic land use, putting at risk the ecosystem’s goods and services for the population. |
