土地利用/土地覆盖变化研究进展

Advances in Land Use and Land Cover Change

土地是人类生存和发展不可替代的、不可再生的重要物质资源 .在对全球环境变化研究领域的土地利用 /土地覆盖变化研究背景、大型研究计划和研究重点进行回顾的基础上 ,系统分析了各类土地利用变化的模拟、预测、解释和和优化决策模型 ,比较了这些模型在应用上的优点与局限性 ,指出了针对中国特有的社会制度、自然条件。

Land resource is one of the irreplaceable resources which the human being relies on. Based on an overview of the background and worldwide research programmes for land use and land cover change within the framework of global change, various kinds of relevant models were compared in the present paper. As results, advantages and limitations in applications of the models were revealed. Meanwhile, significance and necessity of promoting the similar studies was indicated with stress on Chinese characteristics particularly the differences to western countries in social system, natural conditions, accelerated economic feature and scarce of land resources.
