Beyond 'land sparing versus land sharing': environmental heterogeneity, globalization and the balance between agricultural production and nature conservation
(Elsevier Science, 2013-10)
By addressing the trade-offs between food production and biodiversity conservation at landscape and ecoregion scales, the land sparing/sharing debate has made a significant contribution to land use science. However, as ...
Why have land use change models for the Amazon failed to capture the amount of deforestation over the last decade?
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-07-01)
Land cover change in the Neotropics represents one of the major drivers of global environmental change. Several models have been proposed to explore future trajectories of land use and cover change, particularly in the ...
Principles for life cycle inventories of land use on a global scale
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-07)
Purpose To assess the diverse environmental impacts of land use, a standardization of quantifying land use elementary flows is needed in life cycle assessment (LCA). The purpose of this paper is to propose how to ...
Land capability of multiple-landform watersheds with environmental land use conflicts
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-02-01)
This study introduces an improved method to assess land capability in the rural environment. Land capability, also defined as natural use, is a powerfull asset in land use planning and development of land use policies, ...
Land use and water quality in watersheds in the state of São Paulo, based on GIS and SWAT dataUso do solo e qualidade da água em bacias hidrográficas do estado de São Paulo, utilizando GIS e SWAT
(2019-01-01)
Land use influences the quality and availability of water resources, but Brazil has made little progress in integrated watershed management. This study therefore applied geoprocessing for land-use classification and evaluated ...
An open source GIS-based Planning Support System: Application to the land use plan of La Troncal, Ecuador
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING LTD, 2018)
Historical land-cover/use in different slope and riparian buffer zones in watersheds of the State of São Paulo, Brazil
(2007-07-01)
Information about the land cover of a region it is a key information for several purposes. This paper aimed to elaborate land-cover maps using digital satellite images obtained in 1997 from seven watersheds (Piracicaba, ...
Estimating the world's potentially available cropland using a bottom-up approach
(Elsevier, 2013-10)
Previous estimates of the land area available for future cropland expansion relied on global-scale climate, soil and terrain data. They did not include a range of constraints and tradeoffs associated with land conversion. ...
Multi-temporal analysis of land use land cover interference in environmental fragility in a Mesozoic basin, southeastern Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-02-01)
Changes in land use land cover without proper planning cause several adverse environmental impacts on hydrographic basins. Mapping these dynamics is a key tool to understand the rapid changes in landscapes that directly ...
