GLP Science UpdateChallenges for land

system science

(1) How can the analysis of empirical and historical land system datasets provide insight into human–environment interactions?

(2) How can integrated modelling and the ecosystem service concept contribute to the testing of hypotheses about land system functioning and decision making?

(3) How can our current understanding of land systems inform the choices that society has about future landscapes?
