Climate‐Smart Agriculture and Sustainable Livelihood
Livelihood assets, both renewable and nonrenewable, enhance adaptive capacity and facilitate climate‐smart agriculture (CSA). The CSA approach includes implementing farmers' technical knowledge and investing in different resources and technologies for the improvement of the farming system. This meta‐analysis examined the impact of livelihood capital on key elements of the CSA approach by synthesizing the findings of 63 original articles published…
Strategic Foresight for Sustainable Rural Landscapes
Rural landscapes are increasingly challenged by climate change, ecosystem degradation, and socio‐economic transitions, creating an urgent need for strategic foresight and scenario planning to guide sustainable development. This study integrates these approaches to identify key factors shaping the future of socio‐ecological systems and to develop targeted interventions by recognizing underlying trends, challenges, and potential drivers. The method…
Environmental Governance, Urban Sustainability, and Adaptation Strategies
The concepts of adapting to changing climate, urban sustainability, and environmental governance have become increasingly significant in policy and ecological research due to the serious challenges climate change presents to urban areas. However, the criteria for promoting climate‐resilient environmental governance and urban sustainability in relation to the Food—Water—Energy (FWE) nexus, are still unclear. Hence, this study aimed to conduct a co…
Capitalization of direct payments and agricultural land rental prices in the Czech Republic
The capitalization of direct payments provided under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) may constitute a barrier to the competitiveness of European agriculture and to the adaptation of agricultural landscapes to climate change. This study examines the extent to which basic direct payments—namely the Single Area Payment Scheme (SAPS) and the Payment for agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment (Greening Payment)—are …
Impacts of Land Tenure Security on the Conversion of Agricultural Land to Urban Use
Land tenure security influences several processes relevant to the long‐term sustainability of farmland management, including agricultural land conversion to urban use (ALCU). This phenomenon has been illustrated by several studies, mainly on the scale of individual countries. However, there is a noticeable lack of global‐scale analyses examining how different aspects of land tenure affect ALCU. To address this gap, we have conducted a meta‐analys…
Nexus of Land for Food and Urbanisation
Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) are regarded as serious environmental problems globally. LULC assessment is a process that leads to a beneficial understanding of how people and the environment interact. The objective of the current study was to quantify LULC change and to determine its primary causes in the metropolis of Tehran in Iran over a 30‐year period (1990–2020) using the DPSIR framework, which includes drivers, pressures, state,…
Factors Affecting Water Ethics Principles from the Perspective of Farmers in Lordegan Township, Iran
How to protect productive lands to ensure food security
Advocacy and credibility of land tenure in Ethiopia
Women and climate change adaptation behaviour
Rural women’s contribution to reacting to climate change is highly significant but has been largely marginalized due to gender roles. This gender discrimination makes them more vulnerable to a variety of threats. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the behaviour of female rice farmers in Mazandaran Province, in northern Iran, toward climate change adaptation using protection motivation theory (PMT). 173 female heads of households’…
Place re‐making and sense of place after quarrying and social‐ecological restoration
Rapid urbanization increases pressure on extracting construction materials through quarrying, which is disrupting and re‐making places worldwide. In this study, we examine how people's place making and sense of place are reconfigured through quarrying. Taking a case study approach, we investigate perceptions of sense of place after quarrying and social‐ecological restoration in a limestone region of the Czech Republic. Our survey of 400 visitors …
Are adaptation strategies to climate change gender neutral? Lessons learned from paddy farmers in Northern Iran
Ecological and historical factors behind the spatial structure of the historical field patterns in the Czech Republic
Historical field systems are an essential part of the traditional cultural landscape of societies with primarily agricultural subsistence. They embody many functions and values, as they affect the productional, ecological and hydrological functioning of the landscape, its cultural values, the way people perceive the landscape, and their impact on present-day farming. As an aspect of the historical landscape, field systems are a topic investigated…
Impact of agricultural abandonment on soil organic carbon
This study investigated the change in soil organic carbon (SOC), soil labile carbon (C), soil total nitrogen (N), particulate organic carbon (POC), mineralizable soil C (Min‐C) in soil aggregate fractions, and soil particles size at 0–30 cm soil depth of the semi‐steppe rangelands in Central Iran (Sheida and Khargosh regions). The study used a fully randomized design with four land uses in the rangelands including covered with rainfed wheat (CR0)…
How cultural heritage can support sustainable landscape development
Does Increasing Farm Plot Size Influence the Visual Quality of Everyday Agricultural Landscapes
The increase in farm plot size is one of the most apparent and significant trends that have influenced central and eastern European agricultural landscapes since the 1950s. In many countries where the average plot size in traditional land-use systems did not exceed several hectares, present-day plots reach the size of 200 ha or more. In recent times, efforts have been made to reverse this trend to restore important ecosystem functions and to re-e…

The Farmland Rental Paradox
Factors affecting farmland prices in the Czech Republic
Owner or tenant
Land tenure security is widely considered to be a fundamental factor in motivating farmers to adopt sustainable land management practices. This study aims to establish whether it is true that owner-operators adopt more effective soil conservation measures than tenant-operators, and whether well-designed agro-environmental instruments can provide sufficiently strong motivation to compensate for the differences between these two groups. An analysis…
Trends in land ownership fragmentation during the last 230 years in Czechia, and a projection of future developments
Agricultural land use sustainability in Southwest Iran
How old are the towns and villages in Central Europe? Archaeological data reveal the size of bias in dating obtained from traditional historical sources
Presentation Matters
This study shows the importance of landscape scene composition in relation to aesthetic ratings used in preference research where static and dynamic presentation methods substitute landscape onsite evaluation. We aimed to evaluate whether the method of presenting a landscape scene influenced aesthetic ratings and whether these potential differences in ratings were affected by the composition of the static presentation. Using a questionnaire for r…

Classification of farmland ownership fragmentation as a cause of land degradation
Farmland ownership fragmentation is one of the important drivers of land-use changes. It is a process that in its extreme form can essentially limit land management sustainability. Based on a typology of land degradation and its causes, this process is here classified for the first time as an underlying cause which through tenure insecurity causes land degradation in five types (water erosion, wind erosion, soil compaction, reduction of organic m…
