Assessment of land use changes and climate changes in the landscape

Land use change is a complex and dynamic process. This can be connected to the natural and human systems. It has a direct impact on soil, water and human life. So direct contact with many environmental issues at the global level. This study was done to assessing the effects of land use in urbanize watershed. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in land use in the production of runoff and sediment yield due to land use changes, without regard to principles of management. The results showed that exceeds the capacity of rangeland, rain fed cultivation on steep land, and actually leads to severe erosion and sediment production in these areas. In fact, in the field of soil loss is directly related to the land use state. Analysis of water habitats, replacement of natural cover with a human incompatible land uses and effects of landscape degradation is undesirable. The findings on the need for sustainable use of land and prevent its destruction is emphasized
