“…This clearly confirmed the direct relationship between land use trends and specific species. Similar results were confirmed for different types of landscapes (Baus et al, 2014;Druga, Falťan, 2014;Falťan et al, 2011;Feranec et al, 2014;Havlíček et al, 2012;Havlíček, Chrudina, 2013;Mojses, Petrovič, 2013;Štych, 2011).…”

Haladová I., Petrovič F.: Classification of land use changes (model area: Nitra town). Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 34, No. 3, p. 249-259, 2015. This paper deals with the new classification of land use changes. We chose Nitra town in Slovakia as a model area. We examined changes of land use for the period 2003-2013. The main result of this work is a table for types of land use changes and a map that shows the location of these changes in Nitra town. Nitra is constantly expanding its area and it is also significantly changing within its borders. Agriculturally used surroundings of the town are being transformed into build-up areas and industrial parks. This transformation causes a loss of agricultural land and vegetation, in general. Agriculture in this region has been gradually declining and disappearing in the past years. On the other side, urbanisation, technicisation and industrialisation are highly supported.

“…It is important to assess the relative positive and negative effects of land abandonment on particular areas where low-intensity farming is no longer socially or economically viable in order to quantify the potential conservation costs and benefits of rewilding as a land-use management policy. The spontaneous succession of vegetation resulting from agricultural extensification helps to recover woodland; on the other hand, extensification, continuing landscape abandonment, and social changes since the mid-20 th century threaten the maintenance of TAL (Baumann et al, 2011;Keenleyside & Tucker, 2010;Kuemmerle et al, 2008;Mojses & Petrovič, 2013). Land use change is one of the main drivers of species extinction.…”

The studies focused on distribution and characteristic of small woodlands and trees as a typical feature of traditional agricultural landscapes (TAL) in Slovakia are missing or are rather local. The source data for this study was obtained from the national inventory of TAL performed in 2010-2012 in Slovakia, where woody vegetation was considered as one of the landscape elements creating mosaic of TAL. Based on the types of woodland present, which endow the landscape with a distinctive character and structure, we have divided TAL into five subtypes: 1) TAL with low occurrence of woodland -not more than 10 % of the site covered by woods, 2) TAL with spatial woodland formation, 3) TAL with solitaire trees dominant, 4) TAL with lines of trees or shrubs dominant, and 5) TAL with small woodland dominant.The proportion of woodland was relatively low, as TAL with low occurrence of woodland (36 %) was the most extended subtype of TAL. The most common dominant woodland structure was lines of trees and shrubs, with significant occurrence in TAL of arable-land and grassland and TAL with dispersed settlement. They tended to occur on typical agrarian relief forms. Our evaluation was supported by statistical analyses focused on the relationships between woodland type on agrarian relief forms (mostly balks) and their biotic and abiotic characteristics (type of agrarian relief form, content of skeleton, width, height, its continuity, as well as continuity of wood cover)

“…According to Angelstam, Boresjö-Bronge, Mikusiński, Sporrong, and Wästfelt (2003), cultural landscapes are at risk of disappearing due to land abandonment and, as Tarolli et al (2014) have noted, terraced vineyards are among the most endangered landscapes in Europe. The reasons for the collapse of terraces in the Mediterranean region are well explored (Lasanta et al, 2001;Lesschen et al, 2008); however, the destruction of terraced areas is also an important cultural and aesthetic issue in the Central European region (Mojses & Petrovič, 2013;Nyizsalovszki & Fórián, 2007), and therefore special attention should be paid to their protection. Cyffka and Bock (2008) highlighted the importance of establishing the historical state of landscapes as a way of understanding changes over time, an essential step in beginning the planning process.…”

The terracing of vineyards has been a centuries-old traditional land use type in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region (887 km 2 ). However, most of them have since been abandoned and are occupied by dense vegetation. In this study, we mapped the spatial extent of vineyard terraces, based on aerial photos. We classified the terraced fields, considering their topographic characteristics as assessed by topographic factors (slope, exposure and elevation) and the process of abandonment between 1784 and 2010 using historical and contemporary land use maps. Based on the overall map of vineyard abandonment (scale: 1:120,000), the process of the abandonment of terraces can be divided into six consecutive time intervals (). Vineyard terraces were found on 590 ha, which were concentrated on hillsides steeper than 17%, on southwestern, southern and southeastern exposures, and lying between 150 and 500 m a.s.l. In the period between 1884 and 1989, 77.8% of the terraces were abandoned, with a particularly intense period of abandonment between 1940 and 1969, which saw a 31.1% decrease in the extent of cultivated terraces.
