Degraded Lands Restored, Boosting Ecosystem Services and Human Well-Being
Humans benefit from ecosystems, like forests and rivers, for their well-being. The article looks at how we manage land ecosystems to ensure these benefits continue. Researchers studied a lot of articles on land ecosystem services from 2000 to 2019. They found that research in this area is growing fast, especially since 2015. Countries like the United States, China, Argentina, and Brazil are leading this research. They learned that keywords like land use change and climate change are popular in this field. By looking at big data, they identified key future research areas, like restoring damaged land and evaluating the impact of land use on nature. Overall, understanding land ecosystem services is crucial for sustainable land management and environmental protection.
