Abstract: The major research of the global change research project of National Basic Research Program of China (973 Programs), entitled “The Large-scale Land Use Change and Its Impact on Global Climate”, in the past three years are introduced in this paper. The main results include the comparisons on the spatial-temporal patterns and its driving force among primary countries, the impact mechanisms of LUCC (land-use and land-cover change) on climate and its ecological effectiveness, the assemble simulation on the climatic effectiveness of LUCC, the scenarios of the climatic and ecological effectiveness of LUCC, and the future research plans of the program.
