Land Use Change

Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Ethics, 2019
Based on the result of the first land resources survey in Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) carried out in the late 1980s, land-use map of Lhasa area in 1990 is produced using aerial photographs obtained in April, May, and October 1991 for the main agricultural area in the river valleys and Landsat TM images acquired in the late 1980s and 1991 for the rest

Projections of land use change and habitat quality assessment by coupling climate change and development patterns.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
Exploring future land use changes and assessing the habitat quality remains a challenging topic for watershed ecological sustainability. However, most studies ignore the effects of coupled climate change and development patterns.

Urbanization, land use change, and carbon emissions: Quantitative assessments for city-level carbon emissions in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region

, 2021
Globally, urbanization has dramatically changed land cover, causing a rapid growth in carbon emissions and related risk of climate change. This study estimated city-level land use carbon emissions (LUCEs) using a novel method based on the correction ...

A global overview of studies about land management, land‐use change, and climate change effects on soil organic carbon

Global Change Biology, 2021
Major drivers of gains or losses in soil organic carbon (SOC) include land management, land‐use change, and climate change. Thousands of original studies have focused on these drivers of SOC change and are now compiled in a growing number of meta ...

Climate and land‐use change will lead to a faunal “savannization” on tropical rainforests

Global Change Biology, 2020
Humans have fragmented, reduced or altered the biodiversity in tropical forests around the world. Climate and land‐use change act synergistically, increasing drought and fire frequencies, converting several tropical rainforests into derived savannas, a ...
