Change in land use and management can impact massively on soil ecosystems. Ecosystem engineers and other functional biodiversity in soils can be influenced directly by such change and this in turn can affect key soil functions. Here, we employ meta-analysis to provide a quantitative assessment of ...
The most important anthropogenic influences on climate are the emission of greenhouse gases1and changes in land use, such as urbanization and agriculture2. But it has been difficult to separate these two influences because both tend to increase the daily mean surface temperature3,4. The impact of...
Land-use changes are critical for climate policy because native vegetation and soils store abundant carbon and their losses from agricultural expansion, together with emissions from agricultural production, contribute about 20 to 25 per cent of greenhous
Land useIn response to the demand for information about changes in land use to inform policy makers and others, the UK Department of the Environment (DoE), which is now the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR), began ot obtain land use change data from the ...
The sending area represents the region of a community that stakeholders wish to preserve and protect from increased land use change. 派遣区代表着一个社会的利益相关者希望保留和保护区提高土地利用的变化。 ask.china-exam.com 3. In handy colour-coded maps it predicts the economic and environmental fa...
Land-use patterns in the Eastern African drylands have changed greatly in recent decades. Ethnographic data from East Pokot, in Kenya's Baringo area, illustrate some of the major dynamics of change and point to relevant drivers. While the pastoral Pokot people managed an open, unfragmented rang...
Land-use change can have a dramatic impact on annual runoff volume, as demonstrated in this study; thus the effects of land-use change on annual or long-term runoff should be considered in land-use planning. 展开 关键词: runoff land usage Florida watersheds lagoons geographic information ...
Here we examine published data on 2798 elevational range shifts from 43 study sites to assess the confounding effect of land-use change on climate-driven species redistribution. We show that baseline forest cover and recent forest cover change are critical predictors in determining the magnitude of ...
construction land and unused land are increased.(2) Except the natural factors,policy,population growth,economic development and other human factors are the main factors due to the land use / cover change in China and the neighboring countries.(3) We should attach importance to international ...
Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry includes research from selected international authors and institutions that consider land use management to be an important aspect in the context of climate change and development. Our team of editors and authors hope to add a valuable contribution to the lite...
