Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

Land use change models are tools to support the analysis of the causes and consequences
of land use dynamics. Scenario analysis with land use models can support land use …

global environmental intergovernmental agreements. It was established in 1971 in the City …

It is argued that the problem of pattern and scale is the central problem in ecology, unifying

Here we provide global estimates of the seasonal flux of sediment, on a river-by-river basis,
under modern and prehuman conditions. Humans have simultaneously increased the …

Environmental heterogeneity is ubiquitous, but environmental systems are often analyzed as
if they were homogeneous instead, resulting in aggregation errors that are rarely explored …

We use semi‐mechanistic, empirically based statistical models to predict the spatial and
temporal patterns of global carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial soils. Emissions …

Issues related to the scale of ecological phenomena are of fundamental importance to their
study. The causes and consequences of environmental change can, of course, be measured …

Land use change modelling, especially if done in a spatially-explicit, integrated and multi-
scale manner, is an important technique for the projection of alternative pathways into the …
