Investigating the Spatial Effects of Agricultural Land Abandonment and Expansion
This study investigates the agricultural land abandonment and agricultural land expansion in the case of the Edmonton-Calgary Corridor, Canada. Using remote sensing data from 2000 to 2012, we include environmental and socio-economic factors to explore the drivers of land use conversions between agriculture and natural land. This research also adopts spatial techniques to allow for spatial effec...
متن کاملDoes land abandonment decrease species richness and abundance of plants and animals in Mediterranean pastures, arable lands and permanent croplands?
Background: Obscured by the more prevalent discussion of intensification and expansion of agricultural land, the impacts of the abandonment of many grasslands and croplands of the world in recent decades have received limited attention in the literature. Land abandonment is a common phenomenon in the Mediterranean Basin, a global biodiversity hotspot, but little is known about the impacts of th...
متن کاملAgricultural Landscapes in Europe: Spatial Structure, Land Management and Consequences of Agricultural Abandonment
Linear landscape elements, such as ditches, hedgerows, lines of trees and field margins, provide important habitats and ecosystem services and function as ecological infrastructure for species within agricultural landscapes. Spatial maps of the distribution of these elements are needed to better represent landscape structure within regional scale environmental assessments. We present wall-to-wa...
متن کاملEcological impacts of arable intensification in Europe.
Although arable landscapes have a long history, environmental problems have accelerated in recent decades. The effects of these changes are usually externalized, being greater for society as a whole than for the farms on which they operate, and incentives to correct them are therefore largely lacking. Arable landscapes are valued by society beyond the farming community, but increased mechanizat...
متن کاملChanges of vegetation indices in arable lands with different years of abandonment in Shirmard rangelands, Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province
Abandonment of arable lands is the starting point of vegetation succession. The trajectory and speed of succession can be different according to the time of abandonment. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of abandonment periods on species richness, diversity and functional groups in shrublands and grasslands of Shirmard rangelands in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiri, Iran. A total of 96 abond...
