Climate and Land Use Impacts on Natural and Artificial Systems: Mitigation and Adaptation

Climate and Land Use Impacts on Natural and Artificial Systems: Mitigation and Adaptation provides in-depth information on the linkages between climate change and land use, how they are related, how land use is shifting over time, and the major global regions at risk for climate and land use changes. This comprehensive resource discusses climatic factors and processes that impact natural and artificial systems, as well as the relationship between climate change and both natural and man-made hazards. The book includes case studies and original maps to provide real-life examples of climate change and land use over regions around the globe. In addition, the book presents future perspectives on mitigation and adaptation of the climate change impact. Summarizes current research on land use and climate change Provides future perspectives on climate change using climate models Includes case studies to provide real-life examples from various countries Incorporates high level graphics, images, and maps to support reviews and case studies INDICE: Chapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 High-resolution projections of the aridity in Europe under climate changeChapter 3 The impact of climate change and land use on human healthChapter 4 Adapting mountain economy to climate change.
