文摘

Land cover and environmental data from Peru were used in an econometric model. The model assessed wetland hydrologic connectivity from 1987 to 1995. Results show changing glacier area and stream discharge drive wetland change. This approach is useful when altered hydrological and climate regimes cause change. More integration of econometric methods may facilitate interdisciplinary research.
