It is increasingly being recognized that land use and land cover changes driven by anthropogenic pressures are impacting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and their services, human society, and human livelihoods and well-being. This Special Issue contains 12 original papers covering various issues related to land use and land use changes in various parts of the world (see references), with the purpose of providing a forum to exchange ideas and progress in related areas. Research topics include land use targets, dynamic modelling and mapping using satellite images, pressures from energy production, deforestation, impacts on ecosystem services, aboveground biomass evaluation, and investigations on libraries of legends and classification systems.
Environmental monitoring --- savannah --- multifunctionality --- protected areas --- conservation --- airborne laser scanning --- aboveground woody biomass --- CORINE land cover --- mapping of changes --- GIS tools --- land cover flows --- Low Tatras National Park --- land use and land cover --- ecosystem service value --- Google Earth Engine (GEE) --- forest fragmentation --- transboundary landscape --- Himalaya --- land-cover change --- MSPA --- cluster analysis --- land use management --- synthesis of land use/land cover definitions --- meta-analysis studies in land use/land cover --- challenges and knowledge gaps in land use/land cover assessments --- literature review --- land use change --- modeling --- scenario --- deforestation --- DINAMICA EGO --- PFBC landscapes --- Democratic Republic of the Congo --- tree diversity --- ecosystem resilience --- native tree --- urban environment --- urbanization --- land cover --- land use --- change mapping --- land use pressures --- energy production --- forestry --- caatinga domain --- digital classification --- remote sensing --- land consumption --- land re-naturalization --- developed land recycling --- urban land use efficiency --- interoperability --- standards --- geospatial --- semantic ontology --- harmonization --- classification --- urban growth --- land cover change --- driving forces --- n/a

The school of thought surrounding the urban ecosystem has increasingly become in vogue among researchers worldwide. Since half of the world’s population lives in cities, urban ecosystem services have become essential to human health and wellbeing. Rapid urban growth has forced sustainable urban developers to rethink important steps by updating and, to some degree, recreating the human–ecosystem service linkage. Assessing, as well as estimating the losses of ecosystem services can denote the essential effects of urbanization and increasingly indicate where cities fall short. This book contains 13 thoroughly refereed contributions published within the Special Issue “Urban Ecosystem Services”. The book addresses topics such as nature-based solutions, green space planning, green infrastructure, rain gardens, climate change, and more. The contributions highlight new findings for landscape architects, urban planners, and policymakers. Important future cities research is considered by looking at the system connectivity between the social and ecological sphere—via varying forms of urban planning, management, and governance. The book is supported by methods and models that utilize an urban sustainability and ecosystem service-centric focus by adding knowledge-base and real-world solutions into the urbanization phenomenon.
