Systematic processes of land use/land cover change to identify relevant driving forces: Implications on water quality
Z Teixeira, H Teixeira, JC Marques - Science of the Total Environment, 2014 - Elsevier
Land use and land cover (LULC) are driving forces that potentially exert pressures on water
bodies, which are most commonly quantified by simply obtained aggregated data. However …
