Does organic farming influence landscape composition? Two cases from the Czech Republic
Original language description
Organic farming is credited as having numerous positive influences on the environment, among others the support of greater landscape diversity. This potential benefit is of particularly great relevance in the case of countries in Central and Eastern Europe, in which the agricultural landscape was damaged by the process of homogenization as a result of the collectivization of agricultural production. This article presents research focusing on the relationship between organic farming and landscape composition in selected locations with varying natural conditions within the Czech Republic. The first part of the research evaluates the overall development of landscape structure during the period of transition from socialist mass-production to farm management based on private companies and family farms. Analysis making use of the landscape metrics proved an increase in the heterogeneity and diversity of landscape between the years 1985 and 2006. The second part of the analysis focused on the relationship between farm management and changes in landscape use. The results showed differing trends in the studied locations, which do not depend on farm management alone, but also on other factors, especially natural conditions in agricultural landscape.
