Effects of institutional changes on land use: agricultural land abandonment during the transition from state-command to market-driven economies in post-Soviet Eastern Europe (2012, background): “…potentially because of the restitution of land to previous owners and their heirs who live in cities or are retired and thus have limited interest and opportunities in agriculture (Bušmanis et al 2001, Goetz et al 2002, Grinfelde and Mathijs 2004, Nefedova and Treivish 1994, Nikodemus et al 2005).”
Agricultural land change in the Carpathian ecoregion after the breakdown of socialism and expansion of the European Union (2013, background): “For example, cropland abandonment rates of up to 50% were found in the Baltics and in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad (Nikodemus et al 2005), but abandonment was much lower in neighboring Poland (Prishchepov et al 2012a) and in the non-Soviet countries in our study region (all except Ukraine).”
Comparing the determinants of cropland abandonment in Albania and Romania using boosted regression trees (2013, background): “Cropland abandonment was the dominant land-use change in the transitional economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and has profound implications on ecosystem characteristics.”
