Land management meeting several environmental objectives - Knowledge compilation and system analyses

Report, 2012

Which mitigation options in land-use management do meet the goals for green house gas emissions, biodiversity and water security? This report makes a systems analysis of land-use and its implications for green house gas emissions, biodiversity and water. The main conclusions are that: • Most land management strategies can meet the goals for biodiversity and water in an adequate way, except intensive forestry, although trade-offs between different environmental values will be necessary. • It is important that there is an understanding of how the prerequisite for impacts of land-use changes in a changing climate.
