Exploring machine learning techniques to predict deforestation to enhance the decision‐making of road construction projects.

Land use changes (LUCs), which are defined as the modification in the use of land due to anthropogenic activities, are important sources of GHG emissions. In this context, understanding future trends of LUCs, such as deforestation, in a spatial manner is relevant. The main objective of this study is...
