Prediction of agricultural land use

Are agricultural land-use models able to predict changes in land-use intensity?

Land-use and land-cover change research needs to pay more attention to processes of land-cover modification, and especially to agricultural land intensification. The objective of this paper is to review the different modelling approaches that have been used in land-use/land-cover change research from the perspective of their utility for the study and prediction of changes in land-use intensific...

Impact of Agricultural Land Use on Macroinvertebrate Fauna in Lithuania

The present study aims at assessing changes in macroinvertebrate metrics in relation to the effects of agricultural land use in a lowland river. Cluster analysis techniques were applied to group river sites according to the similarity of total and relative abundances of taxonomic groups. Riverbed morphology and riparian vegetation were the main environmental variables differentiating between cl...

Simulation and prediction of land use and land cover change using GIS, remote sensing and CA-Markov model

This study analyzes the characteristics of land use/land cover change in Jordan’s Irbid governorate, 1984–2018, and predicts future land use/land cover for 2030 and 2050 using a cellular automata-Markov model. The results inform planners and decision makers of past and current spatial dynamics of land use/land cover change and predicted urban expansion, for a better understanding and successful...
