Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because land use intensity is a complex, multidimensional term, and partly because we lack appropriate datasets to assess land use intensity across broad geographic extents. Here, we review the state of the art regarding approaches for mapping land use intensity and provide a comprehensive overview of available global-scale datasets on land use intensity. We also outline major challenges and opportunities for mappinglanduseintensityfor cropland, grazing, and forestry systems, and identify key issues for future research.engAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unportednet primary productiontime-series datamultitemporal modisglobal patternsagriculturecovermapimageryareasdeforestation550 Geowissenschaften333.7 Natürliche Resourcen, Energie und Umweltarticleurn:nbn:de:kobv:11-110-18452/19098-210.18452/18421
