Plausible scenarios of future land use derived from model projections may differ
substantially from what is actually desired by society, and identifying such mismatches is …

Modelling the impact of policies is possible only if these policies themselves are defined to
some extent. Therefore, potential policies affecting multifunctional land use are grouped into …

Simulation models of land use predict or describe land-use change over space and time.
Recent overviews of land-use simulation models show an overwhelming amount of different …

The continuously growing global demands on a finite land resource will require better
strategic policies and management of trade-offs to avoid conflicts between different land-use …

Attempts to influence the development of land systems are often based on detailed
scenarios that constrain relevant factors, describe a range of divergent but plausible futures …

Explorations of future land use change are important to understand potential conflicts
between competing land uses, trade-offs associated with particular land change trajectories …

Scenario-based approaches provide decision makers with accessible storylines of potential
future changes. The parameterisation of such storylines as input variables for integrated …

Executive Summary A pan-European Land Use Modelling Platform (LUMP) was developed
in order to provide projected land use maps at a detailed geographical scale (100m2 …

Highlights•Land use model are a central tool in land system science.•There is a lack of new
land use modelling concepts published in recent years.•Land use models are frequently …

This paper presents a multi-sectoral overview of the key driving forces of land-use change.
As part of the design phase for a new land-use model for the Netherlands Environmental …
