Harmonization of global land use change and management for the period 850–2100 (LUH2) for CMIP6
Geoscientific Model Development, 2020 . Human land use activities have resulted in large changes to the biogeochemical and biophysical properties of the Earth's surface, with consequences for climate and other ecosystem services. In the future, land use activities are likely to expand and/or

An assessment of the global impact of 21st century land use change on soil erosion
Nature Communications, 2017 Human activity and related land use change are the primary cause of accelerated soil erosion, which has substantial implications for nutrient and carbon cycling, land productivity and in turn, worldwide socio-economic conditions.

Global land use changes are four times greater than previously estimated
Nature Communications, 2021 Quantifying land use change is critical in tackling global challenges related to food, climate and biodiversity. Here the authors show that land use change has affected 32 % of the global land area in six decades (1960- 2019) by combining multiple open ...
