The quantitative identification and trade-off/synergy analysis of land use functions (LUFs)
form the foundation of territory spatial planning and management. However, the application …

Spatially explicit understanding of the delivery of multiple ecosystem services (ES) from
global to local scales is currently limited. New studies analysing the simultaneous provision …

Assessing changes in the extent and management intensity of land use is crucial to
understanding land-system dynamics and their environmental and social outcomes. Yet …
