It is asignificant agent of change with influences, and is affected by, climate change, lossof biodiversity, and the sustainability of human-environment interactions. It isclearly an essential component in all considerations of sustainability. The focusareas of LUCC project are land-use dynamics, land-cover changes and regional andglobal models. Since 1995, when LUCC project was proposed, a great progress on manyaspects has been achieved, which is significant to the research on land science inthe future, and to the sustainability of land resources in China.展开更多
