The 53 pages that link to Land-use change, each with the reason it gives.

• DeforestationNarrower topic: Deforestation is one consequential form of land-use change.

• ZoonosisRelated: Habitat disruption can change contact patterns among wildlife, livestock, and people.

• One HealthRelated: Changing habitats can reshape wildlife contact, disease transmission, and human exposure.

• Carbon sequestrationRelated: Expanding biological storage can compete with food production and other land uses.

• Induced demandRelated: Improved access can reshape development, generating new trips over longer periods.

• AnthropoceneRelated: Land transformation reshapes habitats, soils, and sediment flows on a planetary scale.

• SugarcaneRelated: Expanding cane cultivation can replace natural habitats or other farms.

• Agricultural intensificationRelated: Intensification interacts with whether rising demand leads to habitat conversion or concentrated production.

• Land degradationRelated: A land-use change can cause degradation, but the two concepts are not equivalent.

• Extinction debtRelated: Historical land conversion can set extinction risks that unfold long after the initial change.

• Groundwater rechargeRelated: Urban surfaces, irrigation, and vegetation changes can redirect water away from or toward recharge.

• Vector-borne diseaseRelated: Changing habitats can reshape contact among vectors, wildlife, livestock, and people.

• Agent-based modelRelated: Household and institutional decisions can be simulated to explain spatial patterns of development.

• Carbon dioxide removalRelated: Land-based removals can compete with food production, ecosystems, and other land needs.

• PastureRelated: Creating pasture can transform forests or other habitats and alter their ecological functions.

• Pollinator declineNarrower topic: It combines habitat loss, altered floral resources, and pesticide exposure across landscapes.

• Emerging infectious diseaseRelated: Changing contact among people, wildlife, and livestock can create new transmission opportunities.

• Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultureRelated: Agricultural expansion can cause additional emissions beyond those produced on farms.

• Soil biodiversityRelated: Land conversion changes soil habitats and resources, often altering the organisms that persist there.

• African savannaRelated: Cultivation and settlement fragment savanna habitats and reduce room for wildlife movement.

• PampasRelated: Plowing, planting, and pasture management have transformed large areas of native Pampas.

• Soil carbon sequestrationRelated: Land conversion can rapidly erase gains accumulated through soil management.

• Land sparingRelated: Sparing benefits nature only when production changes prevent conversion of natural land.

• BiomeRelated: Human land conversion fragments or replaces natural biome vegetation.

• Environmental scienceRelated: Alters habitats, water flows, soil processes, and local climate simultaneously.

• Alluvial plainRelated: Urbanization and farming reshape drainage, soil, and flood exposure across the plain.

• Land grabbingRelated: New commercial uses can displace customary livelihoods even when legal ownership remains unchanged.

• Sacred grovesRelated: Development and agriculture can reduce or transform grove habitats.

• Yangtze River floodsRelated: Urban growth and wetland loss can increase runoff and reduce places that retain floodwater.

• Cape Floristic RegionRelated: Agriculture and urban expansion fragment the region’s naturally diverse habitats.

• Gran ChacoNarrower topic: Chaco deforestation is one regional instance of this broader global process.

• Habitat destructionRelated: Converting natural land to farms or settlements is a leading pathway from intact habitat to its loss.

• Tropical savannaRelated: Agriculture and development fragment savannas and replace native vegetation.

• HeathlandRelated: Agriculture, forestry, and development have reduced and divided heathland in many regions.

• Plant conservationRelated: Competing land uses often determine whether plant habitats can persist.

• Tick-borne diseaseRelated: Landscape shifts alter contact among ticks, wildlife hosts, domestic animals, and people.

• Great AccelerationRelated: Expanding agriculture and infrastructure transformed habitats and carbon storage at accelerating rates.

• Human impact on the environmentRelated: Replacing natural cover with farms and built areas reshapes habitats and ecosystem processes.

• Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrubRelated: Long histories of cultivation and grazing have transformed vegetation and habitat extent.

• Oak savannaRelated: Changing land use has reduced and fragmented oak savanna across much of its range.

• Agricultural expansionNarrower topic: Agricultural expansion is a major pathway through which land use changes.

• Human settlementRelated: Settlement growth can convert farmland, forests, and other landscapes.

• EcohydrologyRelated: Its effects on runoff and evapotranspiration vary with vegetation, soils, and regional climate.

• Environmental degradationRelated: Clearing and fragmenting habitats directly reshape ecosystems.

• Environmental impact of agricultureRelated: Clearing or converting habitats for fields and pasture is a major pathway of agricultural impact.

• Environmental studiesRelated: It connects economic and demographic choices to habitat loss, emissions, and altered landscapes.

• Mediterranean forestsRelated: Agriculture and urban growth have reduced and fragmented natural Mediterranean habitats.

• Agriculture in MesoamericaRelated: Cultivation reshaped forests, wetlands, and soils across the region.

• Flooded grasslands and savannasRelated: Agriculture and infrastructure can fragment or replace flooded grasslands.

• Human activitiesRelated: It links human decisions about land to changes in habitats and carbon storage.
