Gegenstand des Artikels ist die Entwicklung eines Konzepts, das die effiziente und dauerhafte Nutzung natürlicher Ressourcen in von Dürre bedrohten Gebieten ermöglicht. Entwickelt wird ein interdisziplinärer, hierarchischer und dynamisch-analytischer Rahmen, der zur empirischen Wirklichkeit...

Future increases in land-based production will need to focus more on sustainably intensifying existing production systems. Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because land use intensity is a complex, multidimensional term, and partly...

Large knowledge gaps currently exist that limit our ability to understand and characterise dynamics and patterns of land-use intensity: in particular, a comprehensive conceptual framework and a system of measurement are lacking. This situation hampers the development of a sound understanding of...

Assessing changes in the extent and management intensity of land use is crucial to understanding land-system dynamics and their environmental and social outcomes. Yet, changes in the spatial patterns of land management intensity, and thus how they might relate to changes in the extent of land...
