Resumen
Los procesos de expansión y retroceso agrícola han provocado un debate global emergente y han impulsado una investigación más centrada, debido a sus consecuencias socioambientales. Este documento evalúa los cambios de LU / LC a gran escala durante 32 años desde 1986 a 2018 en incrementos de ocho años, basado en imágenes Landsat disponibles gratuitamente procesadas con QGIS tos de código abierto. Los resultados son la primera cuantificación de áreas de superficie y mapas detallados de cambios de LU / LC a largo plazo en la región. Los resultados indican una marcada expansión de las tierras de cultivo en la cuenca alta del río Tunuyán, mientras que en la cuenca baja del río Tunuyán, se abandonaron pequeñas parcelas cultivadas. En la cuenca del río Mendoza, hubo una expansión urbana significativa en tierras previamente cultivadas, pero las tierras de cultivo se expandieron en algunas áreas.
Processes of agricultural expansion and retreat have provoked an emerging global debate and driven more focused research, due to its socio-environmental consequences.This paper evaluates large-scale LU/LC changes over 32 years from 1986 to 2018 at eight-year increments, based on freely available Landsat imagery processed with opensource QGIS tools. The results are the first quantification of surface areas and finegrained maps of long-term LU/LC changes in the region. Results indicate marked cropland expansion in the upper Tunuyán River basin while in the lower Tunuyán River basin, small cultivated plots were abandoned. In the Mendoza River basin, there was significant urban expansion onto previously cultivated land but cropland did expand in some areas. The analysis suggests three main drivers of LU/LC change: abandonment of vineyards and orchards in the lower Tunuyán River basin, vineyard expansion in the upper Tunuyán River basin, and peri-urbanization in the Mendoza River basin.
