This paper presents a range of future, spatially explicit, land use change scenarios for the
EU15, Norway and Switzerland based on an interpretation of the global storylines of the …

Land use change is characterized by a high diversity of change trajectories depending on
the local conditions, regional context and external influences. Policy intervention aims to …

Given scenarios describing future climates and socio-techno-economics, this study
estimates the consequences for agricultural land use, combining models of crop growth and …

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 …

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 …

Land use change modelling, especially if done in a spatially-explicit, integrated and multi-
scale manner, is an important technique for the projection of alternative pathways into the …

Major changes in land use may be anticipated in Europe in the decades to come as a result
of technological, socio-economic and political developments as well as global …

This paper presents the development of quantitative, spatially explicit and alternative
scenarios of future agricultural land use in Europe (the 15 European Union member states …

Explorations of future land use change are important to understand potential conflicts
between competing land uses, trade-offs associated with particular land change trajectories …

The structure of agricultural production and spatial patterns of agricultural land use in
Europe are expected to face major changes over the next decades due to changes in global …
