This array is part of this table : 1.1: Core definitions
Prediction/Forecast | An estimate of actual evaluation of the future based on initial conditions. Because of uncertainties, predictions/forecasts are usually probabilistic in nature. |
Projection | Simulated response of a system to potential assumptions of future conditions |
Land cover | Directly observable biological and physical characteristics of the land surface (e.g., forests, croplands, built-up areas) |
Land use | Economic, social, and cultural purposes to which land is employed to support the various needs of human societies (e.g., food, shelter, and inputs to industrial processes) |
Scenario | Plausible descriptions of how the future might unfold in several key areas: socioeconomic, technological and environmental conditions, emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols, and climate. Scenarios do not convey the likelihood or probability that the events described will occur. |
