Abstract

Non-technical summary Global land is turning into an increasingly scarce resource. We here present a comprehensive assessment of co-occuring land-use change from 2000 until 2010, compiling existing spatially explicit data sources for different land uses, and building on a rich literature addressing specific land-use changes in all world regions. This review systematically categorizes patterns of land use, including regional urbanization and agricultural expansion but also globally telecoupled land-use change for all world regions. Managing land-use change patterns across the globe requires global governance.

  • Urban sustainability scholars have raised issues related to AI and threats to privacy, research ethical challenges, and the risk of building decisions on spurious correlations.

    “Urban sustainability scholars have already raised a number of issues related to AI and tentative threats to privacy, research ethical challenges, and the risk of building decisions on spurious correlations [72].”

    From Artificial intelligence, systemic risks, and sustainability (2021) · cites this paper as [72]

    The paper’s §2.5 (Limitations) cautions about interpreting co-occurring land-use changes, but does not discuss AI or decisions based on spurious correlations. Its Additional information section states compliance with publishing ethics guidelines, not research-ethics challenges related to AI. Searches for AI, privacy, ethics, and spurious correlations found no passage addressing the attributed concerns. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
