Characterizing Land Use Transition in China by Accounting for the Conflicts Underlying Land Use Structure and Function

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Human activities and global changes have undergone significant transformations in land systems. It is imperative to comprehend the intricacies of land use transitions (LUT), as they serve as indicators of the evolving dynamics within the complex human-environmental relationship. In this study, we adopt the conflict-coordination theoretical framework to

A functional perspective on the analysis of land use and land cover data in ecology

Ambio, 2020
Assessments of large-scale changes in habitat are a priority for management and conservation. Traditional approaches use land use and land cover data (LULC) that focus mostly on "structural" properties of landscapes, rather than "functional" properties related to specific ecological processes. Here, we contend that designing functional analyses of LULC
