About the topic
The trend is similar in Europe. This has negative effects on biodiversity not only because habitat is lost or degraded, but also because landscapes are fragmented and invasive species spread. We need better knowledge of and accounting for these land cover/land use changes, as well as area budgets for the future. Area neutrality is, therefore, desirable but presents many challenges. In the Master’s Program in Physical and Environmental Geography, you will have the chance to tackle this complex set of problems from various thematic and methodological perspectives.
