TL;DR: A common representation is offered that frames cultural services, along with all ES, by the relative contribution of relevant ecological structures and functions and by applicable social evaluation approaches, which provides a foundation for merging ecological and social science epistemologies to define and integrate cultural services better within the broader ES framework.

Agricultural land-use change and its drivers in mountain landscapes: A case study in the Pyrenees
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Geographic Information System (GIS), including a digital terrain model, a digital cadastre map and a farm survey addressing current and past land use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing of ecosystem services:a systematic review
TL;DR: This systematic review aims to identify, evaluate and synthesise the evidence provided in published peer reviewed studies framing their work in the context of spatially explicit remote sensing assessment and valuation of ecosystem services, and quantitatively present the growth of remote sensing applications in ecosystem services’ research.

Fifty years of change in Central European grassland vegetation: Large losses in species richness and animal-pollinated plants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how management intensification and increased nutrient input initiated in the 1950/1960s have altered grassland plant community composition, species diversity and functional trait composition using comprehensive datasets from five floodplain regions (plus one protected reference region) in northern Germany.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored agricultural land abandonment in Australia, Portugal and Sweden and identified a set of driving forces, classified into pressures, frictions and attractors that clarify why agricultural abandonment occurs differently in each study area, noting its temporal and spatial scale.

Integrating Landscape Ecology into Natural Resource Management
Jianguo Liu,William W. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: Odum et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a landscape transition matrix approach for landscape management with a focus on the effects of habitat edges on landscape structure and cross-boundary management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape history as a planning tool.
TL;DR: It is argued that the inevitable dynamism in a landscape requires planning to explain and to deal with change, and planning has been slow to do this, in part because it is inadequately equipped to analyze both rapid change and gradual evolution.

Analysis of land-cover transitions based on 17th and 18th century cadastral maps and aerial photographs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used non-geometric cadastral maps from the 17th and 18th century together with aerial photographs from 1945 and 1981 to analyse land-cover change in south-east Sweden.

Landscape change patterns in mountains, land use and environmental diversity, Mid-Norway 1960–1993
TL;DR: Changes in landscape pattern and differences in landscape development in two mountain valleys with summer farming activities, in Mid-Norway, over the period 1960s–1990s are focused on and the changes in relation to differential land use and environmental factors are interpreted.
