Land cover Sample Clauses

Land cover. Climate change is expected to impact crop yield and affect cropland needs, as change in harvested area is part of the adaptation response that farmers adopt in response to yield changes. Two effects can be expected: as yields decrease, farmers can expand their harvested area to compensate for a part of their losses, in particular if prices on the markets increase. But in case some substitution across crops is possible, farmers may also adopt alternative crops providing them more profit opportunities or abandon the land to grow crops in other regions with more favorable conditions. Non-market impacts on the other hand receive no price or no complete price in the optimization algorithm. In the case of land expansion, the optimization only considers the land- expansion costs but not for the environmental damage of removing the natural vegetation.

Land cover. Change in land cover (either due to human actions or as a result of natural processes) will also modify landslide risk patterns.

Land cover. 5.1.3.1 First approach Several land cover maps of the Barcelonnette site are available from 1974 to 2006. These maps are provided by different sources and it is therefore difficult to compare them. Indeed they do not cover exactly the same area and they use different land cover classification. The IPGS1 and CLC2 data include 15 land cover categories whereas CRIGE data include 19. Moreover there are some significant differences between the 2006 data from CLC and CRIGE. If we take the example of Bare Rocks, the total surface area covered according to the two sources are not so different: 9734 ha for CLC and 9904 ha for CRIGE3, but the congruent areas described as Bare Rocks by both data sets only represents 5821 ha. This leads to the decision to compare data from one source. Thus land cover data from the same source at the different dates available have been compared: IPGS (1974, 1982, 2004), CLC (2000, 2006) and CRIGE (1999, 2006). For each of the data sources, the evolution of urban and forest areas of land cover, which are important from the point of view of landslide risk, are described.

Land cover. ‌ Land cover will change with changing climate and demography. This is mainly of importance for growing urban areas and the development of forested area in Europe. The applied land cover data were produced by The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) based on the A2 scenario of the IPCC assessment report. The A2 describes a very heterogeneous world with high population growth, slow economic development and slow technological change. This scenario gives similar climate signals as the A1B used in the precipitation data until ca. 2060. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx (2007) described the dataset as follows: “The simulation tool IISASA-FAO AWZ model uses detailed agronomic based knowledge to simulate availability and use of land resources, farm-level management options, and crop production potentials as a function of climate. At the same time, it employs detailed spatial biophysical and socio-economic data sets to distribute its computations at fine gridded intervals over the entire globe (Xxxxxxx et al, 2002).

Land cover. ‌ Land cover is one of the factors that contributes to landslide susceptibility together with topography and geology. While topography and geology are assumed to remain constant during the next 100 years, land cover will most likely be altered by a changing climate and demography. Changes in land cover are mainly caused by two processes, urbanization and a change in agricultural practices in different parts of Europe. It can be easily seen from the map in Figure 3-1 that some major cities such as London or Malmö in Sweden are growing. The biggest changes are visible in Spain, France and Germany where much of the current farmland is turned into grassland (destabilization) or forested areas (stabilization) in the future scenarios. Land cover has a limited effect on the overall landslide hazard, but forested areas are less susceptible for landslides than croplands or pasture. Therefore a conversion to forest will lead to a stabilization of presently unstable slopes.
