Is agricultural land fragmentation driven by the land ownership? The case of highly fragmented ownership patterns in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Land ownership and environmental factors can have complex relationships with landscape patterns. In our study, we tested the role of land-ownership in shaping agricultural land-use fragmentation in the highly fragmented ownership patterns which are typical for some transition countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Generally, there is a sharp distinction between the large number of landowners and the small number of land users, together with a preference among land owners to rent out their land ratherthan selling it. These are factors that markedly complicate sustainable land use. Using patch-scale spatial data generated from GIS, Minimal Adequate Models, based on ANOVA, were performed to test for the effects of ownership patterns on arable land andgrassland fragmentation across 483 study areas. The results show that there are important differences in the predictors of fragmentation between arable land and grassland. Grassland fragmentation was found to be associated particularly wi
