Abstract
A quantitative method for mapping the contemporary dynamics of ecosystems is described. Particular reference is to the mapping of the desertification of complex ecosystems of the lower reaches of the Amudar'ya using a time series of four surveys. The types of ecological transitions identified from remote sensing imagery and their frequencies are described.
