Aggregated globally, multiple impacts of local land changes are shown to significantly affect central aspects of earth-system functioning. This book presents innovative developments and applications in the fields of modeling and scenario construction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEric Lambin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor at the Department of Geography at the University of Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, and chair of the Scientific Steering Committee of the IGBP-IHDP Land-Use\/Cover Change (LUCC) project, besides contributing to many other international scientific projects and initiatives.
