The book comprehensively reviews the current knowledge on how natural and anthropogenic land-use\/cover changes affect weather, air quality and climate worldwide and explains how these changes may trigger further land-use\/cover changes. It discusses how anthropogenic land-use\/cover changes affected local and regional climate and air quality since the settlement of America and the industrialisation. It addresses the topic how long-range transport of pollutants and dust of devasted areas as well as teleconnections may cause changes far away from the areas where the land-use\/cover changes occurred, for which land-use\/cover change may become an international issue similar to CO2. It also discusses relations to global change and future societal and scientific challenges related to land-use\/cover changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277373399191,"sku":"9789400736955","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789400736955.webp?v=1769288189","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/land-use-and-land-cover-changes-impact-on-climate-and-air-quality-9789400736955","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
