PAGES - Past Global Changes

Land Use and Cover paper

Details: Published: Thursday, 11 June 2015 17:05

trondman-article-fig8 In a contribution to PAGES' Land Use and Cover Theme (the predecessor to Landcover6k) Trondman & Gaillard et al. have published a paper in Vegetation History and Archaeobotany researching the application of the REVEALS model.

This study is the most systematic test of REVEALS applications using multiple small sites instead of large site(s) and may be of particular interest to researchers using REVEALS to achieve land-cover reconstructions.

The value of paleorecords

In a new contribution to our Regional Integration Theme, John Dearing et al. present regional case studies combining paleorecords with conventional sources of historical information to show how multiple sources of data may aid the understanding of social-ecological system dynamics and thus research into sustainable management of landscapes, ecosystems, and resources.

Future Earth would like feedback from the research community on the role of science in supporting the post 2015 development agenda, and on the scientific grounding of the document. Science and technology has a significant role in the means and implementation of the goals, including the development of indicators (to be agreed in March 2016) and this role could be articulated more clearly.
