Crop genetic erosion: understanding and responding to loss of crop diversity
Crop diversity underpins the productivity, resilience and adaptive capacity of agriculture.
Loss of this diversity, termed crop genetic erosion, is therefore concerning. While alarms …

Land use and ecological change: A 12,000-year history
EC Ellis - Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Human use of land has been transforming Earth's ecology for millennia. From hunting and
foraging to burning the land to farming to industrial agriculture, increasingly intensive human …

Global and regional fluxes of carbon from land use and land cover change 1850–2015
The net flux of carbon from land use and land cover change (LULCC) is an important term in
the global carbon balance. Here we report a new estimate of annual fluxes from 1850 to …

The driving forces of landscape change in Europe: A systematic review of the evidence
Over the past decades, landscapes worldwide have experienced changes (eg, urbanization,
agricultural intensification, expansion of renewable energy uses) at magnitudes that put their …

Social-ecological outcomes of agricultural intensification
Land-use intensification in agrarian landscapes is seen as a key strategy to simultaneously
feed humanity and use ecosystems sustainably, but the conditions that support positive …

Historical carbon dioxide emissions caused by land-use changes are possibly larger than assumed
The terrestrial biosphere absorbs about 20% of fossil-fuel CO2 emissions. The overall
magnitude of this sink is constrained by the difference between emissions, the rate of …
