Abstract:
The Land-Use Change Impact Assessment (LUCIA) model can be used to assess impacts of landuse changes on soil productivity and fertility, biomass production, watershed functions and environmental services. It operates at high spatial and temporal resolution but can so far only handle small mountainous catchments. It help scientists and land-use planners simulate mid- to-long-term effects of land-use management and changes on environmental degradation and rehabilitation. It is explicit in the consequences of plot-level decision making by farmers and thus operates between the reach of detailed tree–soil–crop interaction models and models that operate at more aggregated watershed scale.
