Implications of agricultural land use change to ecosystem services in the Ganges delta
This paper explores the temporal variation of agricultural land use change and its implications with ecosystem services
Abstract
Ecosystems provide the basis for human civilization and natural capital for green economy and sustainable development. Ecosystem services may range from crops, fish, freshwater to those that are harder to see such as erosion regulation, carbon sequestration, and pest control. Land use changes have been identified as the main sources of coastal and marine pollution in Bangladesh. This paper explores the temporal variation of agricultural land use change and its implications with ecosystem services in the Ganges delta.
