The extent and intensity of human interactions with the environment have increased spectacularly since the Industrial Revolution. Thus, the global change research community and development practitioners increasingly recognize the need to address the adverse consequences of changes taking place in the structure and function of the biosphere and the implications for socie 606 $aLand use$xEnvironmental aspects$zAsia 606 $aClimatic changes$zAsia 606 $aSustainable development$zAsia 607 $aAsia$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aLand use$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a363.70095 702 $aBraimoh$b Ademola K. 702 $aQing Huang$b He 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132336003321 996 $aVulnerability of land systems in Asia$92180315 997 $aUNINA
