Abstract

Human activities have become a major factor that significantly changes the global environment. Mankind has increasingly used land, water, minerals and other natural resources since the beginning of industrialization, and future growth in the population and economy is thought to further enhance the impact upon the Earth. The global climate, biogeochemical process and natural ecosystems are closely linked with one another, and changes in any one of these systems may effect the others, which could result in consequences detrimental to humans and other living organisms on the Earth.(omitted)
