A more rigorous and nuanced understanding of land-use change (LUC) as a driver of emerging infectious disease (EID) is required. Here we examine post hunter-gatherer LUC as a driver of infectious disease in one biogeographical region with a compressed and documented history--continental Australia. We do this by examining land-use and native vegetation change (LUCC) associations with infectious ...

due to the increase of changes in the land uses mainly resulting from humaninterferences, monitoring the changes and evaluating their trend and environmental effectsfor future planning and management are essential. in the present study, an attempt is madeto observe the changes which had occurred in ardestan area during a period of 30 yearsusing some satellite images. different kinds of data for...

Carbon sources and sinks as a result of land use and land cover changes (LUCC) are significant for global climate change. This paper aims to identify and analyze the temporal and spatial changes of land use-based carbon emission in the Hubei Province in China. We use a carbon emission coefficient to calculate carbon emissions in different land use patterns in Hubei Province from 1998 to 2009. T...

Land use and cover change (LUCC) has a non-negligible impact on both carbon emissions sinks. Based the analysis of land dynamics in Shandong Province, this study simulates changes Province 2030 under Natural Development Scenario (NDS) Sustainable (SDS), classifies risk level using Use Carbon Emission (LUCE) indexes, compares differences between regions NDS SDS. This shows that influence LUCC, p...

Remotely sensed (RS) imagery is increasingly being adopted in investigations and applications outside of traditional land-use land-cover change (LUCC) studies. This is due to the increased awareness by governments, NGOs and Industry that earth observation data provide important and useful spatial and temporal information that can be used to make better decisions, design policies and address pro...

To maintain the sustainable utilization of water resources and reduce soil erosion in the Loess Plateau, the Chinese government has adopted a number of environmental restoration strategies since 1999, including the Grain for Green Project (GFGP) and the Natural Forest Conservation Program; these large projects greatly alter the regional water cycle. Detecting runoff changes and quantitatively a...

Research on the uncertainty of Land Use Cover Change (LUCC) models is still limited. Through this paper, we aim to globally characterize structural four common software packages (CA_Markov, Dinamica EGO, Modeler, Metronamica) and analyse options that they offer for management. The have been compared qualitatively, based their structures tools, quantitatively, through a study case city Cape Town...

Land-use/land-cover change (LUCC) is an important factor affecting carbon storage. It of great practical significance to quantify the relationship between LUCC and storage for regional ecological protection sustainable socio-economic development. In this study, we proposed integrated framework based on multiobjective programming (MOP), patch-level land-use simulation (PLUS) model, valuation eco...

Although potential benefits and limits of scenarios are well known, few studies verify their impacts on knowledge production public decision-making in the long term. In this paper, we perform an ex-post evaluation land-use land-cover change (LUCC) produced 2004 aiming to support water management. The objective is evaluate what extent those reflect expectations understand which factors influence...
