1. Biodiversity models need to represent land‐use intensity more comprehensively

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Land use is the major driver of the current biodiversity crisis. However, its impact is not yet adequately reflected in biodiversity scenarios. In particular, effects of land‐use intensity are often neglected although natural limits to land conversion will likely enforce further land‐use intensification in the future. AIMS AND INNOVATION: We argue that integration of land‐use intensity ...

Abstract:
... The London Plan, the Greater London Authority’s spatial development strategy for London, has defined Heathrow as an Opportunity Area – an area with the capacity to support additional homes and jobs – since 2004, but progress on developing the area has been minimal. Uncertainty around the expansion of Heathrow Airport appears to have adversely affected progress. Nevertheless, the most recent London ...

Abstract:
... This paper describes the measures adopted by Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna (two Italian regions) for planning their peri-urban areas at regional level. Peri-urban territories merge urban and rural features and extend beyond the municipal administrative boundaries. This prevents their precise delimitation, as well as the adoption of municipal plans for their governance that are coherent with their sp ...

Abstract:
... This paper focuses on the physical attributes of land that intrinsically limit land use and possibly affect land values. In particular, we investigate if the slope of a land does decrease its price and investigate the role of land slope in forming more reliable constant-quality land price indices and aggregate house price indices. We find that, while land slopes do decrease the land price per unit ...

Abstract:
... Natural language processing (NLP) has shown potential as a promising tool to exploit under-utilized urban data sources. This paper presents a systematic review of urban studies published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings that adopted NLP. The review suggests that the application of NLP in studying cities is still in its infancy. Current applications fell into five areas: urban g ...

Abstract:
... The presence of land use conflicts is often unavoidable as land is finite and a scarce resource. With development as a prime goal, the increasing demands for specific uses make the situation more serious than it was before. In the context of land uses, suitability determines the inherent capacity of the land to perform a defined use with optimum efficiency and sustainability. However, single land ...

Abstract:
... Land use influences the composition of near-surface airborne bacterial communities, and bacteria can be transported through the atmosphere at global scales. The atmosphere mixes vertically, but rigorously assessing whether the effects of land use on atmospheric communities extends to higher altitudes requires examining communities from multiple altitudes collected at a stable location and timefram ...

Abstract:
... Over the past decade land has again moved to the centre of resource conflicts, agrarian struggles, and competing visions over the future of food and farming. This renewed interest in land necessitates asking the seemingly simple, but pertinent, question ‘what is land?’ To reach a more profound understanding of the uniqueness of land, and what distinguishes land from other resources, this symposium ...

Abstract:
... In the past decade, China’s high-speed railway (HSR) system has expanded rapidly and become the longest and most complex network in the world. To fully exploit the HSR dividend, many cities have constructed HSRs in new locations, triggering urban land use change, especially around the HSR stations. This study has used the difference-in-difference (DID) method to explore the effect of HSRs on urban ...

At the same time, governance is being promoted as an important concept in relation to forests, landscapes, land use and increasingly, FLR. Yet, both terms – governance and FLR - are complex, and their association creates widely dif ...
