Interacting land use demands and competing interests originating from fields such as agriculture, housing, mobility and nature conservation call for integrated governance approaches that incorporate disciplinary perspectives and arbitrate between them. The German research program “Sustainable Land Management” targets this challenge and provides an umbrella for a number of regional projects invo...

The objective of this work is the realization of a map spatialising proposals of management and planning of lands, with a view to their rational management within the framework of a sustainable development. It was based on a diagnosis of the natural environment that allowed the analysis and identification of constraints to the development of the watershed of Ouergha (North of MOROCCO). The meth...

By manifesting the response of land to human activity and impacts, degradation of forestland indicates the locations where society is in conflict with sustaining the forest environment. The analysis of land degradation in various land-use/cover patterns of Russia’s vast forest zone (about 1050 million ha, or 63% of the country) clearly demonstrates two human-induced problems, inappropriate tech...

In recent years, many papers have been published on the topics of blockchain (BC) and technology (BCT). Some put BCT in context land registries (LRs), cadastres (LCs), registration, administration (LA) management (LM) its implementation benefits. eight years later, from beginnings 2014, question future proposed concept whether it has one, raised. The Scopus database was analysed using bibliomet...

Today's land application practices are designed to effectively treat wastes, and have evolved from earlier practices that centered on cheap disposal with less regard for environmental protection. The major objectives of this paper are to (i) review how current land application practices, and our understanding of them, have evolved over time and (ii) explore how science is used (and sometimes mi...

The joint German-Chinese research project SILUP (Sustainable Integrated Land Use Planning) aims in developing and implementing a strategy for sustainable land use planning in a rapidly developing study area south of Nanjing, Jiangsu province, China. Because of the rapid development of the site there is a high pressure for land to be transferred from agricultural use into industrial use. Sustain...

Interest in the quality and health of soil has been stimulated by recent awareness that soil is vital to both production of food and fiber and global ecosystems function. Soil health, or quality, can be broadly defined as the capacity of a living soil to function, within natural or managed ecosystem boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality,...
