Projected patterns of land uses in Africa under a warming climate
Land-use change is a direct driver of biodiversity loss, projection and future land use change often consider a topical issue in response to climate...
-
Modelling the impact of historic landscape change on soil erosion and degradation
International policies and guidelines often highlight the divide between ‘nature’ and ‘heritage’ in landscape management, and the weakness of...
