About this Research Topic
Land use change contributes significantly to the increase in global carbon emissions in the 21st century, its role is just behind that of fossil fuel combustion. Until now, nearly 50% of the land surface has been reshaped by humankind, and human activities such as reclamation of agricultural land, urban construction, industrial production, and resource extraction have triggered land use change. As a result, natural disaster events such as temperature increase, precipitation decrease, desert expansion, and flooding occur frequently. Through the influence transmission of land use, land cover change, ground nature change and climate change, mankind's land use activities have produced adverse consequences that clearly affect global climate change. Therefore, by exploring the mechanism and process of land use management on carbon abatement, we hope to find a way to control carbon dioxide via optimizing land resource use, which is of great positive significance for economic sustainable development at this stage.
This Research Topic is committed to encouraging research and practical experience in the area of environmental management, sustainable development, and land use management. We want to increase public awareness of climate change caused by land use change and to investigate creative approaches to solve the climate change problems caused by land use change. We invite contributions on the subject of land use management and environmental management that employ novel theories/concepts, data analysis, and evaluation methodologies, from the viewpoints of corporate decision making, change management strategy, leadership, and communication practices, among others. We welcome scholars to submit empirical and theoretical research pieces, as well as critical reviews of the literature and interdisciplinary work.
Among the topics of interest are the following:
1. Statistics and measurement of local climate change induced by land use change
2. Socioeconomic factors related to land use affecting carbon abatement
3. Association between spatial and temporal changes in plant cover and climate change
4. Policy formulation and evaluation of the impact of land use change on climate change
5. Urban land function change and the greenhouse effect
6. Examining the drivers of carbon emissions in the context of land use
7. Innovative approaches for land use, management, and development to promote climate change adaptation
8. Other related topics
