Record 2 2007-06-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Management
  • Areal Planning (Urban Studies)
CONT

Sustainable land use management may involve investigating site history, to help identify potential risks. It also involves the benefits that landscaping can provide to indoor and outdoor environmental quality. Urban reforestation or naturalization of land can provide shade, which has a natural cooling effect, provide protection from the wind and improve air quality.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion environnementale
  • Aménagement du territoire
CONT

La gestion durable de l'utilisation des terrains peut comprendre l'étude des antécédents du site afin de faciliter l'identification de risques possibles. Elle comprend aussi les avantages de l'aménagement paysager sur la qualité de l'environnement intérieur et extérieur. Le reboisement urbain ou la restitution de l'état naturel des terrains peuvent créer de l'ombre, un rafraîchissement naturel, offrir une protection contre le vent et améliorer la qualité de l'air.

Record 3 2007-01-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Management
DEF

A change in the use or management of land by humans, which may lead to a change in land cover.

CONT

Land use and land cover change is the major direct human cause of disequilibrium, and encompasses deforestation and forest degradation, changes in agricultural practices, reforestation and afforestation, and changes in ecosystem management and fire management. Currently, the most important factors are the rapid clearing of tropical forests(a large source of CO2 to the atmosphere), the abandonment of agricultural land and the increase in forest land in northen temperate regions(a major land carbon sink for CO2).

Key term(s)
  • land-use change

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion environnementale
DEF

Changement de l'affectation ou de la gestion des terres par les humains, pouvant entraîner un changement de la couverture terrestre.

CONT

L'utilisation des terres (forêt, agriculture,...) et le changement d'affectation des terres (transformation d'un champ cultivé en prairie...) ont une influence sur le stockage (ou la «séquestration») du carbone par les végétaux et donc sur le réchauffement climatique.

Record 5 2002-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climatology
CONT

Human uses of land, especially clearing of forest for agriculture and reforestation of abandoned farmland, are an important cause of regional climate change... The cooling is the result of the changeover of the region to crops, which reflect more sunlight back into space than forests.

OBS

Regional Climate (Macroclimate): The general large-scale climate of a large area or country, as distinguished from the meso-climate and micro-climate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Climatologie
CONT

Il est probable que l'impact cumulé du rétrécissement planétaire des surfaces forestières et de la dégradation de l'environnement résultera en une contribution nette au changement climatique régional et mondial; ce qui pourrait aboutir à de nombreux effets secondaires, tous problématiques : hausse du niveau de la mer, mise en danger des fournitures d'aliments, déclin de la productivité des sols et de la qualité et quantité d'eau douce, non viabilité des utilisations actuelles des terres et des zones protégées ainsi que problèmes de santé pour la population humaine.
