Class Description
The class colors are chosen such that the corners represent stable classes stable forest (F), stable grazing lands (G), and stable croplands (C), whereas colors along the sides of the triangle represent transitions. Lighter colors present transitions between 1985 and 2000, whereas darker colors represent transitions between 2000 and 2013 (e.g., light green represents transition from forests to grazing lands 1985–2000; darker green represents transitions from forests to grazing lands 2000–2013). Gray indicates transitions from forest to grazing lands to cropland (1985–2000–2013), and white indicates other classes or change trajectories (see Supporting Information).
