Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) are of importance in natural resource
management, environmental modelling and assessment, and agricultural production …

Land cover change has always had a central role in land change science. This central role
is largely the result of the possibilities to map and characterize land cover based on …

With the expansion of economic activities in cities, the function of the urban system is
complex and the ecological environment is destructed gradually. Urban planning is one of …

Cellular Automata (CA) are widely used to model the dynamics within complex land use and
land cover (LULC) systems. Past CA model research has focused on improving the technical …

Land use and land cover change (LUCC) simulation models are effective and reproducible
tools for analyzing both the causes and consequences of future landscape dynamics under …

Land use and land cover (LULC) form a baseline thematic map for monitoring, resource
management, and planning activities and facilitate the development of strategies to balance …

Cellular automaton (CA) is a widely-used tool for modeling land-use changes that can
enhance our understanding of past and future urban development. Previous studies have …

Land use and land cover data play a central role in climate change assessments. These
data originate from different sources and inventory techniques. Each source of land …

Land use change is the result of interactions between processes operating at different
scales. Simulation models at regional to global scales are often incapable of including …

The change of cultivated land pattern (CLP) has a significant impact on cultivated land
system security (CLSS), and is the foundation of ensuring adequate provision of cultivated …
