Information flow in the CLUE-S /Dyna-CLUE model (overview) [9] The Dyna-CLUE (dynamic conversion of land use and its effects) model is the adapted version of CLUE-S model, built upon the combination of the top-down approach of spatial allocation of land-use change and bottom-up approach of specification of conversions for specific land-use alterations.
The land-use sector is critical to achieving the aim of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 2 °C (3.6 °F). [18] Land-use change alters not just atmospheric CO 2 concentration but also land surface biophysics such as albedo and evapotranspiration, both of which affect climate. [19] The impact of land-use change on the climate is ...
The process of land use planning developed putting into consideration those aspects, allows the identification, location and evaluation of areas exposed to natural phenomena, which allows the implementation of measures that guarantee risk mitigation. Good land use planning positively impacts the development of urban economy. [9]
Land change modeling has a variety of implementation opportunities in many science and practice disciplines, such as in decision-making, policy, and in real-world application in public and private domains. Land change modeling is a key component of land change science, which uses LCMs to assess long-term outcomes for land cover and climate. The ...
Land-use change is fundamental to the operations of the biosphere because alterations in the relative proportions of land dedicated to urbanisation, agriculture, forest, woodland, grassland and pasture have a marked effect on the global water, carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles and this can negatively impact both natural and human ...
Cumulative CO2 emissions from land-use change (as of 2021). Emissions from land-use change can be positive or negative depending on whether these changes emit (positive, brown on the map) or sequester (negative) carbon (green on the map). Land use is an umbrella term to describe what
The field is informed by a number of related disciplines, such as remote sensing, landscape ecology, and political ecology, and uses a broad range of methods to evaluate the patterns and processes that underlie land cover change. Land change science addresses land use as a coupled human-environment system to understand the impacts of ...
