The goal of the PAGES LandCover6k initiative is to provide relevant, empirical data on past anthropogenic land-cover change (land-use change) to climate modellers (e.g. the CMIP5 initiative). Land-use change is one of many climate forcings and its effect on climate is still badly understo...
Global general Land Use and Land Cover (LUC) datasets map all land uses and covers across the globe, without focusing on any specific use or cover. This chapter only reviews those datasets available for one single date, which have not been updated over time. Seven different datasets are descr...
Therefore, this study evaluated GURS’s ability to distinguish urban and rural settlements locally by comparing it with China’s Land Use/Cover Dataset (CLUD). CLUD is the longest-spanning and largest-scale land use/cover dataset distinguishing urban land and rural settlements. Generated in a ...
GCAM links land use and land cover change, socioeconomics, the water sector, energy system, and climate in a market-equilibrium system that allows for prices to be adjusted within each time step (generally 5 years) to ensure that the supply and demand of goods and services remains balanced. ...
(LUC) conversions among grid cells,even for the same land use activity,and uncertainty associated with potential vegetation mapping and historical estimates of human land use result in land cover estimates that are substantially different compared to results acquired from remote sensing observations.Here...
High-resolution (30 m) global forest cover data for 2000 and 2020 were obtained from the global land cover and land use (GLCLU) change dataset51. The GLULC forest cover data defines a pixel with tree height ≥5 m at the Landsat pixel scale as a forest pixel, which agrees with ...

The second source of reference data was a regional dataset from the Land Use/Cover Area Frame Survey (LUCAS) over the European Union (Figure 3B). LUCAS is a systematic grid of 337,845 points that are visited triennially for the collection of in situ land cover and land use data [27]....
vegetation cover, albedo) at regional, continental, and planetary scales, and that these alterations are influencing the regional and global environment, including the Earth’s climate system. During the last 300 years, >50% of the land surface has been affected by land-use activities, >25% of...
The world’s mega trends of land-use and landscape development are discussed, which are urbanization and land-use intensification, particularly considering their negative consequences for the ecological as well as the socio-economic environment. Trade-offs of land-use intensification such as the loss ...
