and laid a good foundation for LUCC simulation. Land Use Change Dynamics
Model compatible with RCMs is a great breakthrough in systematically reporting
the changes of land use/cover. Scenarios analysis performed the macrostructure
change, which facilitated the study on the impact of land use change on surface
climate. Land use change dynamic model and land use reclassification can be
applied to form a good systematic modeling of LUCC. Coupled with WRF Model,
land use impact on surface climate was well simulated.
Despite the progresses in these studies there are still some research needs,
which should be further addressed. For example, LUCC parameters need to be
precisely expressed to make sure of the accuracy of simulation. It is necessary to
strengthen the observation of land surface processes due to the variations in the
impact of land use change on surface climate.
The researches of observing and estimating land use impact on surface climate
should mainly focus on two aspects: (i) exploring the climate effects of future
LUCC since the current studies have mainly addressed on the past and current
LUCC and (ii) improving the prediction of land use changes in the future and
assessing its influence on future surface climate.
