La synthèse qui en résulte indique la manière dont le changement climatique, la perte de biodiversité et la pollution peuvent être abordés conjointement dans le cadre des objectifs de développement durable.
Competing interests in land for agriculture and commodity production in tropical human-dominated landscapes make forests and biodiversity conservation particularly challenging.
We use the hybrid modeling laboratory of the Mediterranean Landscape Dynamics (MedLanD) Project to simulate barranco incision in eastern Spain under different scenarios of natural and human environmental change.
In the past few years, there has been a growing amount of research on economic quantifications and valuations of ecosystem services (ES) in agricultural systems. However, little attention has been given to cultural ESs (CES) in general and their link to the landscape in particular.

In many Sub-Saharan African countries, fuelwood collection is among the most important drivers of deforestation and particularly forest degradation.
Land use patterns are the consequence of dynamic processes that often include important legacy issues. Evaluation of past trends can be used to investigate the role of path dependence in influencing future land use through a reference “business as usual” (BAU) scenario.
International agreements on climate change have highlighted the role of land in climate and human dynamics, making it an issue of global importance.
Damages on contaminated land have been mostly assessed for developments subsisting on the land, neglecting the goods and services derived from the land which possess only socio-cultural values.
