The rangelands of Africa are being degraded rapidly by increasing human and domestic animal populations and man's land use practices. Wildlife numbers and diversity are decreasing everywhere except in parks. In Kenya, wildlife has been reduced by more than 50% in 20 years. The inherent strengths...
These differences are often decoupled from rainfall and are linked to land use practices. The article gives an overview about regional trends of vegetation and climate change and emphasize on decoupling precipitation and vegetation. Local examples show how land use leads to diverse vegetation ...
Tokyo's existing urban land use in recent times has been mapped in detail but no precise mapping has been done for land use before the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. Yasuo Masai and the present author recently published "Restored Land Use Map of Pre-Earthquake Tokyo" (1992) to compensate for...
Referring to the manifold studies and the long-term experiences of the restoration of near-natural ecosystems and traditional land-use types, respectively, examples from all over the world are outlined. Additionally to rewilding as a progressive approach to nature conservation, letting nature take care...
Land uses, population, and buildings are typical examples of elements-at-risk. Land use/cover change (LUCC) modeling is a crucial approach for studying spatial-temporal land use changes and assessing urban development with environmental impacts (Tong & Feng, 2019). LUCC modeling could inform ...

(5) retain large contiguous or connected areas that contain critical habitats, (6) minimize the introduction and spread of nonnative species, (7) avoid or compensate for the effects of development on ecological processes, and (8) implement land-use and management practices that are compatible ...
Agricultural practices can have a marked effect on land cover and landscape over time. The objective of this research was to identify changes in agricultur... J Imbernon - 《Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment》 被引量: 66发表: 1999年 The Groundwater Quality and Land Use Change in a Typical...
, findings about the potential role of land use practices are especially relevant (Christiansen1979; Henttonen1989; Selås and Vik2006). Additionally, the role of climate change and mesopredator release have received attention (e.g., Bartoń and Zalewski2007; Prugh et al.2009; Elmhagen et al...
Extension of the methodology into other areas of environmental planning is outlined, with selected examples relating to farm management practices and soil conservation matters, and we believe that the engineering geological approach is in fact a cost-effective and rational basis for environmental and ...
