“…The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) studied in African found that agricultural production activities significantly interfered with the water conservation and nutrient balance of soil during 1982e1984, and the consequences were more serious in some countries as the soil nutrients and soil water were almost exhausted (Smaling and Fresco, 1993). Another case study of the Rouge River Basin in southwest Michigan in US showed that the land use changes, especially the industrialization, completed the heavy metal pollutant and organic chemicals to be discharged into underground.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper proposed to provide valuable information for integrated water resources management through evaluating the research on the interaction mechanism among land use changes, regional hydrological ecosystem services and human well-being. Firstly, the driving mechanism of land use and land cover changes was introduced in this paper. Secondly, the overview of the interaction mechanism among land use and land cover changes, regional hydrological ecosystem services and human well-being was given. Based on the meta-analysis, land use changes have a profound influence on regional hydrological ecosystem services, and the variation of hydrological ecosystem could benefit or impair human wellbeing. Finally, two suggestions were emphasized for managers or policy makers for the future integrated water resources management: (1) Proper land use makes for the water resource management; (2) Blindly pursuing the provisioning services weakens other services of hydrological ecosystem.

Sustainability is a global issue and one that should concern every professional. This paper examines the relationship between sustainability and computing. Sustainability is briefly introduced and defined before a literature review of the relationship between sustainability and computing. The paper concludes that there are strong links between computing and sustainability and that these should be reflected in computing education.

“…Another example is presented by Priess et al (2001). They couple a CLUE model with a spatial resolution of 9×9 km to the NUTMON tool (Smaling and Fresco, 1993) for the assessment of soil nutrient balances in tropical agricultural systems. NUTMON is an input-output model that relates nutrient inputs such as fertilizer application and biological fixation to output fluxes in (among others) harvested products, crop residues and by gaseous losses.…”

Land-use change has been identified as one the most important processes to understand and to model global change. It is the result of complex interactions between human and environmental driving factors. A key to capturing this complexity is the analytical framework of land systems as coupled human-environment systems, a concept that is a central component of the science plan of the Global Land Project. Based on this framework, this paper presents an overview of eight integrated models of the land system. The review concentrates on model approaches that include processes of both the human and the environment sub-system and which operate in a spatially explicit manner on a regional to global scale. Another criterion used to select models is that they take into account interplay and competition between different land-use activities, e.g. between agriculture and urban development. Each model is reviewed separately in detail with focus on the different aspects of the land system that are represented within the model and on the implemented modelling concepts. This is done by systematically addressing the following topics: model purpose and application, model concepts for the human sub-system and for the environment sub-system and linkages between the sub-systems (model integration). Based on these findings commonalities and differences between the models are discussed and further research needs are identified.
