TL;DR: In this paper, a transformation strategy is proposed to support community-led efforts to create new, direct links with nature in traditional farming landscapes, rather than attempting to preserve the past.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize recent empirical evidence and assess what consideration of cultural ecosystem services adds to landscape management and planning, and show that cultural ecosystems services can either encourage the maintenance of valuable landscapes or act as barriers to necessary innovation and transformation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight some local and regional differences in biodiversity patterns within EU farmland by comparing intensive agricultural landscapes with more extensive ones, and use farmland birds to provide examples of the differences in species dynamics and species-habitat interactions between the two regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pan-European assessment of wood-pastures, considering individual countries and biogeographic regions, is presented, where substantial ecological values are revealed in terms of landscape level biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, and genetic resources.
