Deserts and their adjacent semidesertic regions, such as the Sahara, the Negev and Sinai, the Namib, the Atacama and Altiplano, Central Australia, the Mohave in Southwestern USA, the Kyzylkum and Aralkum, and the Kawir in Iran and the Afghan deserts often exhibit severe changes in their ...
The study can also be used as a guide to other studies aiming at projecting changes in arid areas experiencing similar land use changes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 展开 关键词: Markov-cellular automata Land use/cover change Prediction Deserts 年份: 2015 ...
Land use planning is often predicated on the scarcity of land. For example, only about 71% of all land on the planet is habitable (with significant portions of the rest being deserts, mountain ranges, or frozen in ice caps and glaciers)[2], despite the fact that the human population is ...
2008). Land conversion to cropland or urban uses can also cause state changes in adjacent rangelands (Lambin and Meyfroidt 2011). The combined effects of SC–LUC produce the land-cover mosaics that we seek to manage. Here we propose concepts to unite S&T and land-use-change perspectives ...
Hence, this study sought to investigate the impacts of land use and land cover changes (LULCCs) on land degradation (LD) under communal rural districts, and the key drivers of habitat fragmentation in the Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality (GSDM), South Africa. The study used the wet ...
agriculture is an important land use. • New farmland must be created by clearing forests, draining wetlands, and irrigating deserts. Development • A type of land use that changes the land even more than agriculture is development. 5.Development is the construction of homes, stores, office...
the land-use changes in LUP contributed significantly to agricultural and nonagricultural development, residential development, food security, landslide and erosion prevention, reforestation, and change of the labor use toward nonagriculture. Based on the results, improving LUP should be a concern of no...
Changes in land use alter the structure of bacterial communities in Western Amazon soils Here we show how agricultural practices by indigenous peoples as well as forest recovery relate to the structure and composition of Amazon soil bacterial c... ED C Jesus,TL Marsh,JM Tiedje,... - 《Isme ...

Drylands are home to over 2 billion people globally, many of whom use the land for agricultural and pastoral activities. These vulnerable livelihoods could be disrupted if desert dunefields become more active in response to climate and land use change. D
