  • Farming system archetypes help explain the uptake of agri-environment practices in Europe

    Open AccessTomáš Václavík, Michael Beckmann et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The adoption of agri-environment practices (AEPs) is crucial for safeguarding the long-term sustainability of ecosystem services within European agricultural landscapes. However, the tailoring of agri-environment policies to the unique characteristics of farming systems is a challenging task, often neglecting local farm parameters or requiring extensive farm survey data. Here, we develop a simplified typology of farming system archetypes (FSAs), …

  • Dynamic archetypes of agricultural land systems in Germany from 1992 to 2019

    Open AccessRichard Orozco, Marie Meyer-Jürshof et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2024References: 42

    Grasslands, important agricultural land systems, are undergoing significant shifts such as intensification, abandonment, and conversion to alternative land uses in Europe, leading to biodiversity loss. Despite major efforts, the European Union ́s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been unable to halt the decline of grasslands and to appropriately adjust management intensity because implemented policies have not considered the heterogeneity of g…

  • Adoption and potential of agri‐environmental schemes in Europe: Cross‐regional evidence from interviews with farmers

    Open AccessB Bartkowski, Michael Beckmann et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    In Europe and elsewhere, agri‐environmental schemes (AES) are designed to reduce agriculture's impacts on the environment. Designing effective schemes requires an understanding of the reasons that drive farmers' decisions whether to adopt AES. Currently, most insights come from individual case studies or structured surveys based on predefined questions. There is a paucity of studies that do not rely on rigid preconceptions about relevant behaviou…

  • Archetypes in support of tailoring land-use policies

    Open AccessChristoph Oberlack, Simona Pedde et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    We define the tailoring of land-use policies here as a process that seeks to create a fit between instruments and processes of land-use policy on the one hand and properties of land-use systems in a particular place on the other hand (Epstein et al 2015). Tailoring influences policy effectiveness. For example, forest clearing practices in the Brazilian Amazon shifted from large-scale clearing to more extensive small-scale clearing (Assuncão et al…

  • Archetypes of agri-environmental potential: A multi-scale typology for spatial stratification and upscaling in Europe

    Open AccessMichael Beckmann, Gregor Didenko et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Developing spatially-targeted policies for farmland in the European Union (EU) requires synthesized, spatially-explicit knowledge of agricultural systems and their environmental conditions. Such synthesis needs to be flexible and scalable in a way that allows the generalization of European landscapes and their agricultural potential into spatial units that are informative at any given resolution and extent. In recent years, typologies of agricult…

  • Identifying Agricultural Frontiers for Modeling Global Cropland Expansion

    Open AccessFelix Eigenbrod, Michael Beckmann et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2020

    The increasing expansion of cropland is major driver of global carbon emissions and biodiversity loss. However, predicting plausible future global distributions of croplands remains challenging. Here, we show that, in general, existing global data aligned with classical economic theories of expansion explain the current (1992) global extent of cropland reasonably well, but not recent expansion (1992-2015). Deviations from models of cropland exten…

  • Global impacts of future cropland expansion and intensification on agricultural markets and biodiversity

    Open AccessFlorian Zabel, Ruth Delzeit et al.ARTICLENature Communications2019

    With rising demand for biomass, cropland expansion and intensification represent the main strategies to boost agricultural production, but are also major drivers of biodiversity decline. We investigate the consequences of attaining equal global production gains by 2030, either by cropland expansion or intensification, and analyse their impacts on agricultural markets and biodiversity. We find that both scenarios lead to lower crop prices across t…

  • Combined effects of climate and land-use change on the provision of ecosystem services in rice agro-ecosystems

    Open AccessFanny Langerwisch, Tomáš Václavík et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Irrigated rice croplands are among the world's most important agro-ecosystems. They provide food for more than 3.5 billion people and a range of other ecosystem services (ESS). However, the sustainability of rice agro-ecosystems is threatened by continuing climate and land-use changes. To estimate their combined effects on a bundle of ESS, we applied the vegetation and hydrology model LPJmL to seven study areas in the Philippines and Vietnam. We …

  • Investigating potential transferability of place-based research in land system science

    Open AccessTomáš Václavík, Fanny Langerwisch et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Much of our knowledge about land use and ecosystem services in interrelated social-ecological systems is derived from place-based research. While local and regional case studies provide valuable insights, it is often unclear how relevant this research is beyond the study areas. Drawing generalized conclusions about practical solutions to land management from local observations and formulating hypotheses applicable to other places in the world req…
