High forest was the most affected of the land uses, decreasing by 29.92 per cent at the rate of 0.73 per cent year-1 (or loss of 11 045.51 m2year-1). The current pattern of change in the land use is not sustainable. Hence, reforestation has been recommended, particularly in the lower...

Although the ecosystem services provided by mountain grasslands have been demonstrated to be highly vulnerable to environmental and management changes in the past, it remains unclear how they will be affected in the face of a combination of further land-use/cover changes and accelerating climate chan...
If one aim of land-use decision-making is to maintain or improve the quality of human lives, the consequences ofproposed changes must be evaluated across all benefits that contribute to human well-being. This is a challenging task. Difficulties include classifying benefits to minimise double-...
The land-use change is a recognized contributor to the anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Rising population has forced conversion of natural land uses to agriculture and human settlements. Varanasi, an ancient city, is experiencing an urban sprawl, which is leading to expansion of city ...
Changing land into farms or pastures (牧场) removes forests and worsens climate change. And climate change is 1 farms that already exist. Thus, we have to take measures to grow more crops to 2 a growing global population. A greenhouse is a building almost entirely 3 glass or plastic. This...
Results The impacts of various land uses on ESs occur in three ways: (1) Major ESs are generated under different land use practices, (2) land use patterns have a significant impact on ESs, and (3) differing intensities of land use may have different impacts on the generation of ESs. As...
Land use changes during the six decades, such as abandonment of traditional practices and large-scale introduction of forest management oriented towards high volume production, led to continuously denser forests and thereby reduced the oak regeneration niche. In addition, the impact of changed game ...
Three land-use categories show clear trends between 1845-1995 in the Smeily District. The extent of arable land has steadily decreased. The most rapid decrease per year (334 ha) was recorded between 1948 and 1990. The same figure for the period 1845-1948 was only 11.7 ha, and for the ...
