Conservation policy in traditional farming landscapes (2012, background): “Traditional farming land- scapes often have distinctive biophysical characteristics, including substantial amounts of natural or seminatural vegetation and high heterogeneity in land cover at a fine spatial grain (Plieninger et al. 2006).”
Trade-offs of European agricultural abandonment (2017, background): “…mosaic landscapes and traditional cultural landscapes has also an important societal consequence, as these areas are associated with historical values, cultural heritage (‘sense of place’), aesthetic values and often attract tourism (Navarro and Pereira 2012; Antrop, 2005; Plieninger et al., 2006).”
The role of multi-functionality in social preferences toward semi-arid rural landscapes: An ecosystem service approach (2012, neutral): “There is farming intensification in the more productive areas and an abandonment of traditional activities in the less profitable or less accessible lands (Plieninger et al., 2006; Schmitz et al., 2003).”
