Using a hybrid demand-allocation algorithm to enable distributional analysis of land use change patterns.

Future land use projections are needed to inform long-term planning and policy. However, most projections require downscaling into spatially explicit projection rasters for ecosystem service analyses. Empirical demand-allocation algorithms input coarse-level transition quotas and convert cells acros...
