| Title |
Land Systems and Sustainable Land Management |
| Description |
Land refers to the earth’s terrestrial surface, including soil, water and vegetation as land resources, and the associated ecological processes. Land condition can be analysed through various indicators such as land cover, vegetative cover, biodiversity, soil characteristics, their dynamics across space and time and the underlying ecological processes. Understanding how the governance and management of land use systems affect land conditions is critical for reducing land degradation, securing ecological processes, and maintaining the capacity of land to provide humans with various ecosystem services as well as managing synergies and trade-offs between land uses at various scales, and from local to global levels. In this course, key theories, concepts, methods and approaches in land systems and sustainable land management related to soil, water, vegetation and biodiversity are discussed. Their relevance and applications are illustrated by drawing on case studies.
Requirements: It is recommended that students have attended physical geography courses and have a basic understanding of ecological processes.
