This evidence review was commissioned by the Scottish Government to inform the development of mechanisms for integrated land use (i.e. bringing together different land uses in a region). This report outlines the findings of a literature review of social and economic impacts that can arise in relation to land use change. In this report we consider land use change to include both land cover and land management change and recognise that land use change is driven by multiple factors.
This is a visual summary of the following report: ‘A literature review of the social and economic impacts of land use change’ by A. McKee and N. Beingessner, James Hutton Institute, November 2023. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.10143949.

This report details research and technical developments made to enable forecasting of harvest time crop yield as the growing season develops using satellite imagery, data integration and modelling. The aim was to develop crop yield prediction capabilities to enhance the RESAS Scottish Crop Map, and to contribute to improvement and the future direction of this product. The objective was to develop an annual yield prediction model for high profile crops in Scotland.
