Abstract

En este estudio se evalúa empíricamente cómo la cobertura boscosa puede reducir el impacto de las lluvias extremas en la actividad económica de Centroamérica. Para esos fines, se construyó un panel de datos usando observaciones de la tierra provenientes de imágenes satelitales. Se midió la actividad económica a través de las luces nocturnas y se caracterizaron las lluvias extremas usando series de lluvias diarias con alta resolución espacial. Finalmente, se evaluó y mapeó la cobertura boscosa y vegetal usando el índice de vegetación de diferencia normalizada (NDVI).
