Ten facts about land systems for sustainability
Land use is central to addressing sustainability issues, including biodiversity conservation, climate change, food security, poverty alleviation, and sustainable energy. In this paper, we synthesize knowledge accumulated in land system science, the integrated study of terrestrial social-ecological systems, into 10 hard truths that have strong, general, empirical support. These facts help to explain the challenges of achieving sustainability in la…
Changing local land systems: Implications of a Chinese rubber plantation in Nambak District, Lao PDR
This paper investigates the direct and cascading land system consequences of a Chinese company's land acquisition for rubber cultivation in northern Laos. Transnational land acquisitions are increasingly acknowledged as an important driver of direct land use conversion with implications for local land‐based livelihoods. The paper presents an empirical case study of the village of Na Nhang Neua in Nambak District, Luang Prabang Province, using a m…
Hotspots of land use change in Europe
Assessing changes in the extent and management intensity of land use is crucial to understanding\nland-system dynamics and their environmental and social outcomes. Yet, changes in the spatial\npatterns of land management intensity, and thus how they might relate to changes in the extent of land\nuses, remains unclear for many world regions.Wecompiled and analyzed high-resolution, spatiallyexplicit\nland-use change indicators capturing changes in …

Challenges and opportunities in mapping land use intensity globally
Future increases in land-based production will need to focus more on sustainably intensifying existing production systems. Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because land use intensity is a complex, multidimensional term, and partly because we lack appropriate datasets to assess land use intensity across broad geographic extents. Here, we review the state of the art regarding approaches f…
A conceptual framework for analysing and measuring land-use intensity
Large knowledge gaps currently exist that limit our ability to understand and characterise dynamics and patterns of land-use intensity: in particular, a comprehensive conceptual framework and a system of measurement are lacking. This situation hampers the development of a sound understanding of the mechanisms, determinants, and constraints underlying changes in land-use intensity. On the basis of a review of approaches for studying land-use inten…

Urban land teleconnections and sustainability
This paper introduces urban land teleconnections as a conceptual framework that explicitly links land changes to underlying urbanization dynamics. We illustrate how three key themes that are currently addressed separately in the urban sustainability and land change literatures can lead to incorrect conclusions and misleading results when they are not examined jointly: the traditional system of land classification that is based on discrete categor…

Causal relations and land use transformation in the Sahel: Conceptual lenses for processes, temporal totality and inertia
The paper addresses the challenge of conceptualizing and analyzing complex change processes and causal explanations in human–environment systems. To illustrate this challenge empirically, the paper takes its point of departure in the apparent paradox that the agricultural practices in the desert fringe zone of the Sahel seem to remain remarkably unchanged despite huge and accelerating changes in major driving forces such as climate variations, po…

Changes in shifting cultivation systems on small Pacific islands
The limited information on change in shifting cultivation systems of small islands of the Pacific stands in contrast to increasing evidence of this farming system's demise in other parts of the tropics. Here, we assess changes in agricultural activities during the past 40 years of Bellona Island, Solomon Islands, where shifting cultivation is still maintained in the traditional way. Fallow length has increased despite population growth due to red…
Globalizing land use transitions: The soybean acceleration
This note presents the recent global development trends in soybean cultivation as derived from the FAO statistics. It focuses on the change over the course of the last thirty years, when significant new allocations of the global production have occurred, which have turned South America into a leading player on the global scale. It takes point of departure in a land change science approach and employs the notions of underlying and proximate driver…
Continuity and change: Spatiotemporal land use dynamics on Bellona Island, Solomon Islands
Traditional agricultural land use systems in the humid tropics of the Southwest Pacific are, as elsewhere, affected by globalization processes. This paper analyzes the directions of change in the land use system of Bellona, a small outer island in the Solomon Islands. We focus on the human–environmental interaction that shapes land use patterns and practices in the context of theoretical lines of thought concerning intensification of agricultural…

Land system changes in the context of urbanisation: Examples from the peri-urban area of Greater Copenhagen
Peri-urban areas are characterised by great heterogeneity and rapid changes of land use. Furthermore, population composition changes as peri-urban areas offer attractive residential alternatives to city centres or more remote locations. The dynamic processes leave peri-urban areas in an in-between situation, neither city nor countryside and home to a range of functions, spanning from agricultural production to residential and recreational areas. …

Approaching Local Limits to Field Expansion—Land Use Pattern Dynamics in Semi-arid Burkina Faso
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 98: 56–70. Land use pattern dynamics at the local level significantly influence land cover changes and thus global environmental change. Expansion of cultivated land may mirror increased demographic pressure, climatic changes and soil degradation. The paper illustrates how subsistence farmers in semi-arid West Africa may alter their land use patterns in response to increased demographic pressure …

Marginal producers or breadwinners: Women's cropping strategies and access to agricultural key resources in Boulgou province, Burkina Faso
This paper focuses on women's role as food producers in subsistence agricultural systems in southeastern Burkina Faso. It challenges the narrative that describes women as marginal producers of major food crops like millet. Based on a detailed study at the village level of land use, the intra-household distribution of key resources such as labour and land is investigated. It links female production strategies with women's responsibilities within t…

On the basis of SPOT satellite images from 1986, 1988 and 1989, the millet fields of the village Kolel in northern Burkina Faso have been mapped, and changes in land-use pattern from year to year have been identified.

Land use Changes vis-à-vis agricultural development in Southeastern Burkina Faso: The field expansion dilemma
The paper deals with land use changes in semi arid Burkina Faso, specifically the issue of field encroachment on extensively used land. Some theoretical perspectives of field expansions in agricultural production systems characterised by crop-livestock interaction are discussed with reference to Boserup's theories on intensification. The empirical part provides documentation for the land use patterns and practices, based on aerial photos from 197…

An automatic meteorological station has been operating at the Arctic Station (69°15'N, 53°31'W) in West Greenland since 1990. This paper summarizes meteorological parameters during 1997, including snow and sea ice cover, ground temperatures and active layer development, and presents comments on the local permafrost thickness. In March 1997 an automatic climate and water balance station was established on the peninsula Skallingen, 55°30'N, 8°15'E.…

Agricultural land-use in Denmark in the 1980s
Reenberg, Anette: Agricultural land-use in Denmark in the 1980s. Geografisk Tidsskrift 88: 8–13. Copenhagen, 1988. The regional agricultural land-use pattern on community level is shown for selected Danish crops. It appears that even within the four years from 1981 Danish agriculture has experienced a substantial development towards a more intensive use of winter crops and crops rich in protein. This implies also some regional change in the relat…
