Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary During Earth's history, species extinction has probably been caused by modifications of the physical environment after impacts such as meteorites or volcanic activity. On the contrary, the actual extinction of species is mainly a result of human activities, namely any form of land use that causes the conversion of vast areas to settlement, agriculture, and forestry, resulting in habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation, which are among the most important causes of species decline and extinction. The loss of biodiversity is unique among the major anthropogenic changes because it is irreversible. The importance of preserving biodiversity has increased in recent times. The global recognition of the alarming loss of biodiversity and the acceptance of its value resultedUNESCO in the Convention on Biologi – calEOLSS Diversity. In addition, in Europe, the challenge is also the implementation of the European strategy for biodiversity conservation and agricultural policies, though it is increasingly recognized that the strategy is limitedSAMPLE by a lack of basic ecological CHAPTERS information and indicators available to decision makers and end users.

  • Urbanization on the US Landscape: Looking Ahead in the 21St Century
    Available online at .sciencedirect.com 1 LANDSCAPE AND URBAN PLANNING Landscape and Urban Planning 69 (2004) 23 9-234 This article is also available online at: ~.elsevier.com/locate~landurbplan Urbanization on the US landscape: looking ahead in the 21st century Ralph J. Alig a**, Jeffrey D. Kline a, Mark Lichtenstein VSDAForest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, 3200 SW Jeflerson Way, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA Training Support Division-Natural Resources Branch, US Army Environmental Center, 5179 hadley Road, Aberdeen Proving Gro~md,n/fD 21010, USA Accepted 30 July 2003 Abstract Conversion of rural lands to urban and other built-up uses affects the mix of commodities and services produced from the global land base. In the United States, there was a 34% increase in the amount of land devoted to urban and built-up uses between 1982 and 1997. This increase came predominantly from the conversion of croplands and forestland, with the largest increases in deveIoped area happening in the southern region of the country. In an analysis of drivers influencing developed land uses in the US. we found results that were consistent with hypothesized relationships, including significant increases in development as a result of increases in population density and personal income. From these results, we projected changes in potential future urbanization and development by 2025 given estimated increases in population and real personal income. The projections suggest continued urban expansion over the next 25 years, with the magnitude of increase varying by region. US developed area is projected to increase by 7996, raising the proportion of the total land base that is deveIoped from 5.2 to 9.2%.
