Abstract

Potential effects of hypothesized anthropogenic climate change are raising concerns about the sustainability of development in terms of both people and the rest of the environment. Land use change at the global scale presents many challenges for the research community. Past land use has a definite effect on future ecosystems, but it is challenging to predict future outcomes for biodiversity and productivity of ecosystems. The mechanisms that create complex patterns of forests at different scales (e.g., microscopic, stand-level) will require further systematic analysis.
