Direct drivers of deforestation in Amazon countries Cattle ranching Cattle ranching is the leading cause of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. In Brazil, this has been the case since at least the 1970s: government figures attributed 38 percent of deforestation from 1966-1975 to large-scale cattle ranching.
The sampling frequency or sampling rate, fs, is the average number of samples obtained in one second (samples per second), thus fs = 1/T. Reconstructing a continuous function from samples is done by interpolation algorithms.
For example, given a sampling frequency of 200Hz (Nyquist frequency = 100Hz), a digitized 101Hz signal will appear at 99Hz, while a 200Hz signal will appear at 0Hz or DC. A 201Hz signal will look like a 1Hz signal, and so on.
