As a result of the above information, we can define a BRT system at present as a collective way of land transportation based on the functional features of LRT (Light Rail Transit) that benefits from the economic advantages and flexibility of the bus, so it can offer a collective service of land transportation in a comfortable, fast and functional way by rubber-tired vehicles.
We suggest greater use of experimental design and long-term case studies where the influence of mapped ecosystem services on land use decisions can be assessed.
The mitigation of potential health hazards and land scarcity due to land use change can be addressed by restoring functional and ecosystem services of contaminated land.
Mapping multiple landscape services of agricultural land at various spatiotemporal scales can reveal the distribution and evolution of landscape services.
ESV k : Ecosystem service value of land use category "k".
The money will fund the provision of "suitable and serviced" plots of land for sale at market value to prospective self and custom-builders.
Without proper land management practices, this pressure definitely leads to land degradation (particularly in the form of soil erosion and deforestation), which, in turn, affects the productive and service functions of land as well as the livelihood of the population.
Adult supervisors in the United States are recruited and trained by the extension services of the land-grant colleges and universities, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture and county governments, which cooperate under provisions of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 and subsequent acts of Congress and the state legislatures.
As a matter of fact, forest expansion is the only natural process that may counteract the consumption of the ecosystem capital and ecosystems services of rural lands due to uncontrolled urban sprawl.
Knowledge about intensity and spatial pattern of urban land changes (ULCs), i.e., changes from non-built-up to built-up lands, is important to a wide range of issues, from understanding of human environment interactions and provision of urban ecosystem services, to land use policy development for landscape and urban planning toward sustainable urbanization.
