Abstract
Land-use change is one of the major contributions to increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The interdisciplinary approach to addressing the carbon flux issue presented in this volume combines historical analysis, biomass estimates as provided by a geographic-information-systems model, bookkeeping models that track factors affecting the carbon flux, and evaluation of how economic factors affect tropical deforestation. The challenge of such interdisciplinary research is managing the research for the frequent communication necessary for research interactions and for developing and using interdisciplinary models.
