Special Issue on Land Use Management and Sustainable Development

As an important manifestation of human activities, land use has profoundly influenced and changed the geochemical cycle, hydrological processes and landscape dynamic changes, and then changed the earth's natural system. The global land use plan takes land use research as the main content, and realizes the measurement, simulation and understanding of human-environment coupling system by discussing land system dynamics, the consequences of land system changes, and integrated analysis and simulation of land sustainability. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of land use and sustainable development.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring land use management and sustainable development. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Land use planning
• Land system changes
• Habitat destruction
• Land cover
• Agricultural land use
• Industrial land
• Land evaluation
• Land and population carrying capacity

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Land Use Management and Sustainable Development” should be chosen during your submission.
