Changes in rural areas, such as depopulation and land abandonment, but also
intensification and loss of biodiversity, usually proceed very slowly yet are often irreversible …

The future of agricultural land use in Europe is unknown but is likely to be influenced by the
productivity of crops. Changes in crop productivity are difficult to predict but can be explored …

Major changes in land use may be anticipated in Europe in the decades to come as a result
