CC LandStraD, Subproject 1.3: Analysing the relationship between landscape and land-use parameters and High Nature Value (HNV) farmland
Project
Project code: vTI-BD-08-44
Contract period: 01.11.2011
- 31.10.2015
Purpose of research: Applied research
Land-use strategies aimed at climate change mitigation or adaptation lead to changes in land use. Land-use change is currently one of most important drivers of biodiversity change. An increase in cultivation of biomass for energy production, for instance, could pose both substantial risks and prospects to biodiversity.
One the one hand, expanding agricultural biomass production may lead to a loss of biodiversity due to an intensification of land use, short crop rotations, reduction in crop diversity and the loss of linear landscape features (e. g., hedges, field margins). On the other hand, synergistic effects between climate change mitigation and the conservation of biodiversity may arise as a result of expanding agricultural biomass production, e.g. due to the reduced input of herbicides, diverse crop rotations and the increase in landscape diversity by introducing perennial crops into homogeneous landscapes.
In order to investigate the impact of various land-use strategies on biodiversity within the framework of CC-LandStraD, we analyse the relationship between landscape and land-use parameters and High Nature Value (HNV) farmland.
