Land-Use and Land-Cover Change [electronic resource] : Local Processes and Global Impacts / edited by Eric F. Lambin, Helmut Geist.
| Call Number | 333.7 |
| Title | Land-Use and Land-Cover Change Local Processes and Global Impacts / edited by Eric F. Lambin, Helmut Geist. |
| Physical Description | XVIII, 222 p. 44 illus., 19 illus. in color. online resource. |
| Series | Global Change - The IGBP Series, 1619-2435 |
| Contents | Introduction: Local Processes with Global Impacts -- Global Land-Cover Change: Recent Progress, Remaining Challenges -- Causes and Trajectories of Land-Use/Cover Change -- Multiple Impacts of Land-Use/Cover Change -- Modeling Land-Use and Land-Cover Change -- Searching for the Future of Land: Scenarios from the Local to Global Scale -- Linking Land-Change Science and Policy: Current Lessons and Future Integration -- Conclusion. |
| Summary | The book presents recent estimates of the rates in changes of major land classes such as forest, cropland and pasture. Among the causative mechanisms behind land change, synergetic factor combinations are found to be more common than single key factor explanations. Aggregated globally, multiple impacts of local land changes are shown to significantly affect central aspects of Earth System functioning. Innovative developments and applications in the fields of modeling and scenario construction are presented. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the most pressing implications for the design of appropriate intervention policies, and on new directions and frontiers of research. |
