Vegetation patterns along agricultural land abandonment in the Balkans
Original language description
What are the woody vegetation encroachment patterns after agricultural land abandonment? Focusing on two parameters, woody plant species richness and vertical vegetation heterogeneity (number of different vegetation strata and their relative cover) we investigated: (a) the effect of forest encroachment following land abandonment, (b) the comparative importance of forest encroachment vis a vis topographic and climatic parameters, and finally, (c) the ecological importance of eight landcover types encountered in abandoned agricultural landscapes. LocationMethodsThe Balkan Peninsula (Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece). We set up a standard methodology for 1x1km site selection (70 sites) and data collection within 497 plots, along a well defined forest encroachment gradient that reflects land abandonment in terms of woody vegetation cover. ResultsConclusionsThe pattern that emerged was neither clear nor common for the Balkan region, regarding the effect of forest encroachment on the woody plant
