Drylands are home to more than 38% of the world's population and are one of the most
sensitive areas to climate change and human activities. This review describes recent …

Theory and evidence indicate that trees and other vegetation influence the atmospheric
water-cycle in various ways. These influences are more important, more complex, and more …

Anthropogenic changes to land cover (LCC) remain common, but continuing land scarcity
promotes the widespread intensification of land management changes (LMC) to better …

Land cover changes (LCCs) play an important role in the climate system. Research over
recent decades highlights the impacts of these changes on atmospheric temperature …

This article summarizes the changes in landscape structure because of human land
management over the last several centuries, and using observed and modeled data …

The co-benefits concept implies a 'win–win'strategy to address two or more goals with a
single policy measure. There is much scholarly and policy attention paid to this concept as a …

Land‐use changes through forestry and other activities alter not just carbon storage, but

The equatorial island of Borneo is a deforestation hotspot. However, the influence of forest
loss on the island's climate remains largely unexplored. Here, we examine how forest loss is …

Peatland drainage is an important driver of global soil carbon loss and carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions. Restoration of peatlands by reflooding reverses CO2 losses at the cost of …

Human activities have extensively altered landscapes throughout the world and further
changes are expected in the future. Anthropogenic impacts such as land use change …
