Land-use change refers to the transformation of land from one purpose to another, such as converting forests or grasslands into agricultural fields, urban areas, or other managed landscapes. These shifts profoundly affect plant communities by altering habitat availability, soil composition, water cycles, and biodiversity. For plant scientists, understanding land-use change is critical for assessing its impacts on native flora, crop adaptation, ecosystem services, and the long-term sustainability of agricultural systems.
