1. What are the types and geographic distributions of change?
2. What are the overall rates of change by region and by sector (i.e., rates of conversion from agricultural to urban land cover)?
3. How do the rates vary (a) locally and regionally and (b) temporally?
4. What are the driving agents and consequences?
5. What are the likely driving forces of local land cover transformation?
6. What are the connections between land cover change and changes in (the driving forces) economic, social, and environmental conditions?
7. What are the local human activities (proximate sources of change) that are altering land cover transformation?
8. What are the likely consequences of ecoregion land cover change at the regional, national, and global scales?
9. What are the regional responses to land cover change?
10. What are the primary types of conversion occurring;
11. what is dynamic land cover change rates;
12. Over the past 10 years in which land cover transformations have been most dynamic.
