The concept of ecosystem services facilitates the valuation multiple from ecosystems and landscapes, identification trade-offs between different land use scenarios, also informs decision making in planning. Unfortunately, cultural have been mostly neglected within framework. This could result trade-off assessments which are biased mislead management landscape However, research approaches proven valuable assessment nonmaterial values services. In this paper, we compare objectives, approaches,...

Abstract Agroecosystems are vital for supplying ecosystem services to human society, but most modern farming practices impact detrimentally on the environment. Public agricultural support policies have been critically important in influencing transformation of farm sectors; however, few them dedicated enhancing beyond commodities. The largest system worldwide, European common policy (CAP), has now come a critical point, as major decisions concerning its design and implementation after 2013...
Scattered trees support high levels of farmland biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes, but they are threatened by intensification, urbanization, land abandonment. This study aimed to map quantify the decline orchard meadows (scattered fruit nature conservation value) for a region Southwestern Germany 1968 2009 period identify driving forces this decline. We derived meadow loss from aerial images used boosted regression modelling framework assess relative importance...
Providing mature technologies and in-servicing markets are not enough to foster the public use of renewable energy for green transformation. A promising approach is help policy makers construct a model identifying developing factors that will support community-owned technology initiatives. The literature on incentives multi-actors get involved in project reveals major success socio-economic character. theory-collective action consists five integrated dimensions actors enable an understanding...
Abstract In the semi-arid zones of Eastern Mediterranean, husbandry sheep and goats has been an integral part livelihoods survival strategies since Neolithic, but underwent major changes after approximately 1960s. this paper, we analyse landscape that were induced by following increase numbers underlying socio-economic biophysical driving forces in insular locality Western Lesvos, Greece. Thirty-four farmers surveyed secondary sources such as agricultural statistics regional literature...
This paper discusses the historical changes to and uses of floodplain landscapes in Luxembourg from 1770-2000 as a case study region with rural past peri-urban present. Based on landscape analysis approach, comprises evidence written, cartographic oral sources collected at regional (Gutland) local (Syr Valley) level. The floodplains investigated were old cultural landscapes, shaped by agriculture, livestock husbandry, river regulation measures, land improvement, milling, navigation, mining...
