What is the future of abandoned agricultural lands? A systematic review of alternative trajectories in Europe

Catherine M. J. Fayet et al.

Summary: The abandonment of agricultural land and its impact on landscape features is a prominent characteristic of many European rural areas in recent decades. While past research has identified the drivers and environmental impacts of abandonment, few have described the trajectories following agricultural abandonment. Examining the driving forces behind different post-agricultural abandonment trajectories is crucial for understanding how alternative land uses can address the environmental, economic, and social challenges in these areas.

Effects of agricultural land abandonment on soil organic carbon stocks and composition of soil organic matter in the Central Spanish Pyrenees

Estela Nadal-Romero et al.

Summary: The study revealed the effects of different land uses and covers on soil organic carbon and nitrogen stocks after land abandonment in the Central Pyrenees. Meadow and young forests had higher SOC and N contents and stocks, while woody encroachment decreased SOC stocks. Management of woody encroachment should consider historic adaptation of agro-pastoral activities to ensure proper ecosystem services and SOC storage in Mediterranean mountain soils.

How to consider history in landscape ecology: patterns, processes, and pathways

Ulrike Tappeiner et al.

Summary: The importance of history in landscape ecology is emphasized, including legacy effects and path dependence, which influence current patterns and processes in various ways. The focus on development pathways sheds light on the process of change and reveals the role of event chains and institutional reproduction.

Future losses of ecosystem services due to coastal erosion in Europe

Dominik Paprotny et al.

Summary: Coastal erosion is a major issue facing Europe, with potential future sea level rise leading to significant declines in coastal ecosystem services. The study estimates that salt marshes would face the highest absolute losses, while countries like Denmark and Albania would be most affected economically. Urgent mitigation actions are highlighted as necessary.

A multi-pressure analysis of ecosystem services for conservation planning in the Alps

Lukas Egarter Vigl et al.

Summary: The study introduces a geospatial framework to identify and analyze the cumulative impacts of anthropogenic pressures on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystem services, with results showing major urban centers and coastal areas as most affected regions. Spatial coincidence analysis on IUCN protected sites revealed protection categories IV and V having high scores for both pressure and ecosystem services.

Good Pastures, Good Meadows: Mountain Farmers' Assessment, Perceptions on Ecosystem Services, and Proposals for Biodiversity Management

Alexander Wezel et al.

Summary: The study reveals a decrease in habitat and species diversity in many areas across Europe, especially in mountain grasslands. Farmers have varying perceptions about the functions and services of their grasslands, with good pastures being associated with composition, forage quality, productivity, and soil characteristics. Proposed measures to increase biodiversity include upgrading forest edges, planting hedges or fruit trees, reducing fertilization, and expanding agricultural production. Factors hindering implementation include increased workload, lack of time, and insufficient financial support. Local initiatives that involve farmers and specialists could enhance biodiversity management.

Effects of past landscape changes on aesthetic landscape values in the European Alps

Uta Schirpke et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in aesthetic landscape values in the European Alps between 1950 and 2010, revealing that higher elevated areas had higher aesthetic values while lower elevations were more affected by changes in agricultural activities, leading to decreased aesthetic values.

Trends in Ecosystem Services across Europe Due to Land-Use/Cover Changes

Uta Schirpke et al.

Summary: The study analyzed changes in 19 ecosystem service values across 52 ecoregions in Europe between 2000 and 2018, identifying six major groups of ecoregions with similar LULC distribution and trends. Provisioning ES mainly increased in forest-dominated regions, while regulating ES slightly decreased in some regions but increased in wetland-dominated areas. Cultural ES showed generally low negative trends. The findings provide valuable information for policy development and monitoring of ES at European national and regional levels.

Social-ecological resilience in remote mountain communities: toward a novel framework for an interdisciplinary investigation

Rike Stotten et al.

Summary: This study explores the social-ecological complexities of two remote mountain villages in the Austrian Alps using the resilient livelihood framework. By utilizing the Shannon-Wiener Index, the study found that Vent village exhibits higher social-ecological resilience compared to Obergurgl. The research bridges various disciplines and contributes to the advancement of resilience framework through a case study approach.

Land Abandonment in Mountain Areas of the EU: An Inevitable Side Effect of Farming Modernization and Neglected Threat to Sustainable Land Use

Thomas Dax et al.

Summary: The study reveals that land abandonment risk in European mountain areas is three times higher than in non-mountain areas, mainly due to the high disparity in agricultural competitiveness between regions at fine geographical scale. Addressing this issue requires consideration of a wide range of factors and options for mitigation.
