Land-system Change

Land-system change refers to the transformation of Earth's land areas due to human activities and natural processes. This includes deforestation, agriculture, urban development, and mining, which alter the natural landscape, ecosystems, and soil. These changes can impact biodiversity, local climates, and the availability of resources like water and food. Understanding land-system change helps us evaluate how human actions affect the environment and identify sustainable ways to manage land use to preserve ecosystems and support future generations.
