Land use

Land ownership involves the management and adjusting of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such(a) as settlements & semi-natural habitats such(a) as arable fields, pastures, in addition to managed woods. Land usage by humans has a long history, first emerging more than 10 thousand years ago. It has been defined as "the purposes and activities through which people interact with land and terrestrial ecosystems" and as "the the object that is caused or portrayed by something else of arrangements, activities, and inputs that people adopt in aland type." Land use is one of the nearly important drivers of global environmental change.

Environment

Land use and land management practices do a major affect on natural resources including water, soil, nutrients, plants and animals. Land use information can be used to determining solutions for natural resource supervision issues such(a) as salinity and water quality. For instance, water bodies in a region that has been deforested or having erosion will work different water generation than those in areas that are forested. Forest gardening, a plant-based food production system, is believed to be the oldest form of land use in the world.

The major case of land use on land cover since 1750 has been deforestation of temperate regions. More recent significant effects of land use include urban sprawl, soil erosion, soil degradation, salinization, and desertification. Land-use change, together with use of fossil fuels, are the major anthropogenic control of carbon dioxide, a dominant greenhouse gas.

According to a explanation by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, land degradation has been exacerbated where there has been an absence of all land use planning, or of its orderly execution, or the existence of financial or legal incentives that have led to the wrong land use decisions, or one-sided central planning main to over-utilization of the land resources - for exemplification for immediate production at any costs. As a consequence the a object that is caused or shown by something else has often been misery for large segments of the local population and waste of valuable habitats and ecosystems.
