From climate change to increasingly mobile human populations to the global economy, the relationship between humans and their environment is being modified in ways that will have long-term impacts on ecological health, biodiversity, ecosystem goods and services, population vulnerability, and sustainability. These changes and challenges are perhaps nowhere more evident than in island ecosystems. Buffeted by rising ocean temperatures, extreme weather events, sea-level rise, climate change, tourism, population migration, invasive species, and resource limitations, islands represent both the greatest vulnerability to globalization and also the greatest scientific opportunity to study the significance of global changes on ecosystem processes, human-environment interactions, conservation, environmental policy, and island sustainability..Inthis book, we study islands through the lens of Land Cover/Land Use Change (LCLUC) and the multi-scale and multi-thematic drivers of change. In addition to assessing the key processes that shape and re-shape island ecosystems and | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Land Cover; Land Use Change; Island Ecosystems; Island Sustainability; Satellite Imagery; Environmental G | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-43973-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-43975-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-43973-6Series ISSN 2195-1055 Series E-ISSN 2195-1063 | issn_series | 2195-1055 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
