Book Synopsis Land-use Changes and Their Environmental Impact in Rural Areas in Europe by : Reinhard Krönert
Book excerpt: The rural landscapes of Europe have been radically modified over the last four decades, not only as a result of urban expansion, but primarily due to changes in agriculture, i.e. increased intensification of production in some areas and "extensification" - land being taken out of production - in other areas. This volume presents a comparison of rural land-use change and landscape pattern dynamics in different parts of Europe.
