By the early 20th century, commercial exploitation, unregulated hunting and poor land-use practices such as deforestation had severely depressed deer populations in much of their range.

New sinkholes have been correlated to land-use practices, especially from ground-water pumping and from construction and development practices.

This week environmentalists were outraged when the Administration retreated on its plan to change land-use practices by raising grazing rights fees and imposing mining royalties.

There had yet to be an organization that directly addressed this mistrust or the non-profits trying to improve land-use practices.

Kenneth Lowenstein has joined the New York office of Bryan Cave to expand its land-use practice.

In Jamaica there is a long history of environmental change due to land-use practices.

As Barker and McGregor point out, however, land-use practices have also played a significant role in landscape change since colonial times when deforestation began.

Harmful land-use practices and mismanagement of ecosystems, he says, are most strikingly reflected and greatly magnified by their impact on streams.

Past land-use practices severely depleted the habitat available for native wildlife.

This is an area that should be researched more in order to better understand their habitat selection and the effect that these land-use practices have on organism.
