... their similarities in environment and current socioeconomic processes, however, the four sites are each unique due to their varied political, cultural and economic histories (Table 1). Past and current land use reflects these differences, as do the current state of biodiversity and land degradation. ...

The land use/land cover pattern of a region is an outcome of natural and socio-economic factors and the utilization by humans in time and space. The land use/cover change analysis is used to evaluate and monitor land use change in the specific period of time. Nowadays, the rapid changes of land use and land cover can lead to land degradation and en...
For the prediction of hydrologic phenomenon, predicting future land use change is a very important task. This study aimed to compare and analyze the two land use change models, CLUE-S and SLEUTH3-R. The analysis of two models were performed based on the MSR value such that the model with more reliable MSR value can be recommended as an appropriate...
Simulating the spatial response of ecosystem service value (ESV) caused by land use change in Heilongjiang Province under different scenarios in the future is of great significance for ensuring ecological security and sustainable development in the region. Heilongjiang Province, an important grain-producing region in China, is taken as the research...
Coastal forested wetlands support many endemic species, sequester substantial carbon stocks, and have been reduced in extent due to historic drainage and agricultural expansion. Many of these unique coastal ecosystems have been drained, while those that remain are now threatened by saltwater intrusion and sea level rise in hydrologically modified c...
A key goal of the Paris Agreement (PA) is to reach net-zero Greenhouse Gasses (GHG) emissions by 2050 globally, which requires mitigation efforts from all countries. Africa’s rapidly growing population and GDP makes this continent important for GHG emission trends. In this paper, we study the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nit...

This article discusses the evolution of participatory methods and their benefits and pitfalls in contributing to land use and land cover change (LULCC) analyses. Participation has become a practical means of developing a more complete assessment of societal change by bringing local people's narratives and understandings to bear on the interpretation of data collected using more extractive methods, such as the household survey, or data collected remotely, such as satellite images. Their methodological value lies in their ability to provide insights into the local mediation of external political, economic, and cultural processes. However, the realization of these contributions to LULCC analysis requires sensitivity to community differentiation, competing narratives of change, and the broader social context in which participatory forums take place. Examples from Kenya suggest that participatory feedback workshops present distinct empirical advantages that allow researchers to develop an understanding of critical intersections of social and environmental change through a dialogical process whereby participants themselves frame the central categories and change processes.
