TL;DR: It is argued that maintaining and, where possible, restoring the integrity of dwindling intact forests is an urgent priority for current global efforts to halt the ongoing biodiversity crisis, slow rapid climate change and achieve sustainability goals.

TL;DR: A review of different types of land-use change models incorporating human processes is presented in this article, where the authors compare land use change models in terms of scale (both spatial and temporal) and complexity, and how well they incorporate space, time and human decisionmaking.

TL;DR: An analysis of how scale issues affect an agent-based model (ABM) of landcover change developed for a research area in the Midwest, USA and results show that the distribution of landuse-preference weights differs as a function of scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the spatial diversification of crop types across an upland-lowland gradient on Mount Kenya's northwestern slopes and performed regression analyses using household-level survey data collected during the summer of 2012 to investigate the factors contributing to varying levels of crop diversification and implications for crop production in a semi-arid irrigated agricultural system.

TL;DR: In this paper, scale dependent studies conselected population and environmental variables for a study ducted in environments have typically lacked the site in northeast Thailand and data sets were collected, integrated, and Vatial and/or scales for landscapes having a analyzed to examine scale-dependent relationships between pronounced "social" imprints.
