Abstract
This project aims to consistently address the integration of processes operating across different scales and enhance the linkages and feedback between socio-economic processes and biophysical processes within the land change system. More specifically, the main objectives of the project are:
1. Improved insight and conceptual models on linking land-use change processes across different scales
2. Improved insight and conceptual models for addressing feedbacks and interactions between economic and biophysical processes in land use
3. Implementation of conceptual models in consistent operational land-use modelling frameworks (through new modules and consistent linkage of existing models) to be used in assessments of climate change and ex-ante evaluation of policies.
