Evaluation of ecosystem responses to land-use change using soil quality and primary productivity in a semi-arid area, Israel

2014-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Land-use change (LUC) from natural to human-dominated land is a critical aspect of global change and ecosystem response. To improve our understanding of LUC, this study focused on: (1) developing a general theoretical framework for quantifying and evaluating the attributes of ecosystem response as a consequence of LUC; and (2) testing the validity of this framework using recent LUC in the desert fringe of the nort...
