Remote Sensing and Spatial Distribution Patterns of Guyanese Resource Palms

Arecaceae (palms) are an essential resource for indigenous communities as well as fauna populations in the Amazon. The present study conducts an extensive examination of the application of remote sensing imagery for the detection of Arecaceae at both regional and local scales within the previously understudied nation of Guyana. Subsequently, the detected specimens of Arecaceae are used to answer critical questions concerning the distribution and environmental drivers of their growth, and the impacts anthropological disturbance by way of localized agriculture has on the regenerative abundance and diversity of Arecaceae.
