Land change science has emerged as a fundamental component of global environmental and sustainability research. This interdisciplinary field seeks to understand the dynamics land cover use coupled human–environment system address theory, concepts, models, applications relevant societal problems, including intersection two. The major components advances in are addressed: observation monitoring; understanding system—causes, impacts, consequences; modeling; synthesis issues. six articles...

This paper introduces urban land teleconnections as a conceptual framework that explicitly links changes to underlying urbanization dynamics. We illustrate how three key themes are currently addressed separately in the sustainability and change literatures can lead incorrect conclusions misleading results when they not examined jointly: traditional system of classification is based on discrete categories reinforces false idea rural–urban dichotomy; spatial quantification place-based...
Land use is central to addressing sustainability issues, including biodiversity conservation, climate change, food security, poverty alleviation, and sustainable energy. In this paper, we synthesize knowledge accumulated in land system science, the integrated study of terrestrial social-ecological systems, into 10 hard truths that have strong, general, empirical support. These facts help explain challenges achieving thus also point toward solutions. The are as follows: 1) Meanings values...
Assessing changes in the extent and management intensity of land use is crucial to understanding land-system dynamics their environmental social outcomes. Yet, spatial patterns intensity, thus how they might relate uses, remains unclear for many world regions. We compiled analyzed high-resolution, spatially-explicit land-use change indicators capturing both cropland, grazing land, forests, urban areas all Europe period 1990–2006. Based on these indicators, we identified hotspots explored...
Many international policies encourage a switch from fossil fuels to bioenergy based on the premise that its use would not result in carbon accumulation atmosphere. Frequently cited goals at least double present global human of plant material, production which already requires dedication roughly 75% vegetated lands and more than 70% water withdrawals. However, burning biomass for energy provision increases amount air just like coal, oil or gas if harvesting decreases stored plants soils,...

Abstract Rural development in the Sudano‐Sahelian region during past 20 years and future scenarios of change were studied using meta‐analysis case studies, household interviews scenario assessment. Households have generally increased their wealth, especially when they diversify out agriculture. Rain‐fed crop cultivation is more sensitive to climate factors than livestock, but play a limited direct role for local land use livelihood strategies. The agricultural sector needs strong support...
