• Landscape heterogeneity as an ecological filter of species traits (2014, unknown): “Agricultural intensification and land-use changes represent major causes of 53 biodiversity decline in agricultural landscapes (Strijker, 2005).”
• Agricultural land abandonment and natural forest re-growth in the Swiss mountains: A spatially explicit economic analysis (2007, methodology): “The structural change in agriculture is influenced by the cultivation costs and benefits from agricultural land as well as by off-farm job opportunities (Baldock et al., 1996; Strijker, 2005).”
• Land abandonment under rural restructuring in China explained from a cost-benefit perspective (2016, background): “According to MacDonald et al. (2000) and Strijker (2005), land abandonment is often related to rural depopulation and the rise of rural labor opportunity cost.”
• Changing land use and its impact on biodiversity (2005, background): “The first paper (Strijker, 2005) analyses the mechanisms behind the changes in agricultural land use practices from a socio-economic viewpoint.”
• Bioenergy from “surplus” land: environmental and socio-economic implications (2012, background): “Strijker (2005) emphasises that abandonment can be a consequence of physical, environmental, social and economic forces and can arise on both fertile and less-fertile soils, triggered by higher labour costs, higher land costs, lower product prices, and new techniques.”
• An integrated sustainability assessment of mediterranean sheep farms with different degrees of intensification (2012, background): “Pasture-based animal production,meat sheep production in particular, has suffered a strong decline in the last few decades in most European Mediterranean regions, in terms of the number of both holdings andanimals (Bernués et al., 2011).”
• Effects of landscape and habitat quality on butterfly communities in pre-alpine calcareous grasslands (2012, background): “Deterioration of habitat quality, however, can occur independently, e.g. by abandonment of traditional land use in semi-natural habitats (MacDonald et al., 2000; Strijker, 2005).”
• Sustainability of pasture-based livestock farming systems in the European Mediterranean context: Synergies and trade-offs (2011, background): “The intensification process in Europe has been driven mainly by two factors: the price of labour relative to the price of agricultural output, which has caused mechanisation and a higher use of inputs to increase production per unit of labour, and the price-based agricultural policies that have been”
