Land cover conversion and land use change combine to reduce grazing
Journal of Land Use Science, 2022 Land cover and land use changes cause global environmental degradation yet changes in cover may have different impacts than changes in use. Here, we examine changes in land cover (rangeland conversion to vineyard) and land use (assocaited grazing loss on

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land degradation threatens agricultural and forestry economies by lowering productivity, raising input costs, and increasing risk. This study examines whether Internet of Things applications moderate these losses in 1321 mainland Chinese counties from 2011 to 2024. Land degradation is measured separately through vegetation trends, modeled soil
