The article discusses how historical changes in how we use land affect the environment. By analyzing global land-use data, the researchers created rules to link land-use changes with changes in land cover. They used satellite data to check if their rules matched reality. The rules they developed can help improve how we include land-cover information in models that study the Earth's systems.
