Bellringer ACT Book Questions 3 and 4

Objectives Distinguish between urban and rural land. Describe three major ways in which humans use land. Explain the concept of ecosystem services. Vocabulary terms: Urban Rural Ecosystem services

Land Use and Land Cover We use land for: including farming Mining building cities highways recreation Land cover is what you find on a patch of land, and it often depends on how the land is used. Ex:l and cover might be a forest, a field of grain, or a parking lot.

Land Cover Rangeland- used to graze livestock and wildlife Forest- used for growing and harvesting wood, and harvesting wildlife, fish, nuts, and other resources Farmland- used to grow plants for food and fiber Parks/Preserves- used for recreation, scenic enjoyment, and for preserving native animal and plant communities and ecosystems Wetlands, Mountains, Deserts, and other- difficult to adapt for human use Urban land- used for houses, businesses, industry and roads

Land Use and Land Cover

Land Use and Land Cover Urban describes an area that contains a city, or an area that contains 2,500 or more people and usually has a governing body, such as a city council. Rural describes an area of open land that is often used for farming, or any population not classified as urban. Most land provides one or more resources that humans consume. These resources include wood in forests, crops in farmland, and mineral resources.

Where We Live Today, most people throughout the world live in urban areas. The movement of people from rural to urban areas happened in developed countries between about 1880 and 1950. Now, this movement is occurring rapidly in developing countries

The Urban-Rural Connection Whether people live in cities or in the countryside, people are dependent on resources produced in rural areas. These resources include clean drinking water, fertile soil and land for crops, trees for wood and paper, and much of the oxygen we breath, which is produced by plants. An ecosystem service is the role that organisms play in creating a healthful environment for humans.

The Urban-Rural Connection

Supporting Urban Areas The area of rural land needed to support one person depends on many factors, such as the climate, the standard of living, and how efficiently resources are used. Each person in a developed country uses the ecosystem services provided by about 8 hectares of land. But, many people in developing countries do not have access to all the resources for a healthy life, and may use ecosystem services from less than a hectare of land per person.
