Land use

  1. FORESCEM simulates fine-scale land-use and land-cover change
  2. Outmigration shifts population and land use in northwest Argentina
    Rural outmigration to emerging cities drives deagrarianization of marginal lands while enabling agricultural intensification in suitable areas across northwest Argentina's High Monte region.
  3. Biblical ecological framework for re-evaluating the Nigerian Land Use Act: An exegetical study of Leviticus 25 and Deuteronomy 15
    Study proposes biblical ecological framework from Leviticus and Deuteronomy to reform Nigeria's Land Use Act, addressing deforestation and tenure insecurity through covenantal stewardship principles.
  4. Awareness of land change linked to migrant psychological resilience
    Climate migrants' awareness of land degradation in origin areas intensifies both acceptance and psychological distress, while poor understanding of urban dynamics undermines resilience.
  5. Index links land humidity trends to precipitation and temperature
    New index based on precipitation and evapotranspiration ratio reveals land relative humidity decreased substantially since 1973, reconciles climate model discrepancies, and improves hydroclimate.
  6. Highland land-use change is linked to different local conflicts
    Comparative analysis of land use transformations in Polish and Argentine highland regions reveals location-specific social conflicts driven by divergent cropland trajectories and market integration.
  7. Forestation in China is linked to water and ecosystem trade-offs
    Synthesis of forest hydrological research in China examining ecohydrological processes, ecosystem service trade-offs, and management implications of large-scale forestation programs.
  8. SWAT review links land use, climate, and watershed outcomes
    SWAT modeling synthesizes 143 studies on land use and climate impacts in developing agricultural watersheds, revealing urbanization effects on water quality and effectiveness of combined.
  9. Projected land cover change slightly increases flood discharge
    Hydrologic impact assessment of projected land cover changes in Cijangkelok Watershed using ANN-based spatial prediction and HEC-HMS design flood simulation.
