An exploration of scenarios to support sustainable land management using integrated environmental socio-economic models.
Scenario analysis constitutes a valuable deployment method for scientific models to inform environmental decision-making, particularly for evaluating land degradation mitigation options, which are rarely based on formal analysis. In this paper we demonstrate such an assessment using the PESERA-DESMICE modeling framework with various scenarios for 13 global land degradation hotspots. Starting wi...
متن کاملAssessment and Mapping of Land Degradation in Abuzaydabad, Iran using an IMDPA Model with Emphasis on Land Criteria
Land degradation, or desertification, is specific to arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions. The rate of thisphenomenon is high in developing countries such as Iran. This research investigated desertification and mapping ofdesertification in Abuzaydabad, near Kashan, Iran, with an emphasis on land criteria using an IMDPA model.Different studies have assessed land degradation or desertificat...
متن کاملAssessment and Spatial Planning of Landscape Ecological Connectivity for Biodiversity Management (Case Study: Qazvin Province)
Habitat and ecosystem fragmentation and, consequently, the loss of landscape connectivity are major causes of biodiversity destruction, leading to disruption of material, energy, and information flow at the landscape scale. Given the importance of this issue, the current study aimed to evaluate the ecological connectivity and spatial planning of Qazvin Province, in order to re-establish and pro...
متن کاملModeling of Environmental Impact Assessment Based on RIAM and TOPSIS for Desalination and Operating Units
An environmental impact assessment is an assessment of the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of Masjid-I-Sulaiman desalination and operating unit’s project in the southern of Iran using Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM) method is pre...
متن کاملTransition Potential Modeling of Land-Cover based on Similarity Weighted Instance-based Learning Procedure and Its Implication in the REDD Project Design Document
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is a climate change mitigation strategy employed to reduce the intensity of deforestation and GHGS emissions. In recent decades, drastic land use changes in Mazandaran province caused a substantial reduction in the amount of Hyrcanian forests. The present research based on objectives of REDD projects paid to identify of fore...
