Abandoned Farmland
"... Biomass production of forests has been studied for at least a century. Tree biomass is used in Sweden both as industrial raw material and an energy source. Few studies dealing with biomass yield from Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) growing on farmland are published. Practical recommendations ..."

recommendations are sparsely. The aim of this study was to construct dry weight equations for Norway spruce growing on farmland. Dry weight equations for fractions of Norway spruce trees were made. Biomass production was estimated in 32 stands of Norway spruce growing on abandoned farm-land. The stands were
Soil carbon accumulation during temperate forest succession on abandoned low productivity agricultural lands
- Ecosystems 2010
"... Carbon sequestration in soils that have previously been depleted of organic matter due to agriculture is an important component of global strategies to mitigate rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Extensive areas of low productivity farmland have been aban-doned from agriculture in eastern North ..."

Cross-border Comparison of Post- socialist Farmland Abandonment in the Carpathians
"... Agricultural areas are declining in many areas of the world, often because socio-economic and political changes make agriculture less profitable. The transition from centralized to market-oriented economies in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union after 1989 represented major economic and polit ..."

and political changes, yet the resulting rates and spatial pattern of post-socialist farmland abandonment remain largely unknown. Remote sensing offers unique opportunities to map farmland abandon-ment, but automated assessments are challenging because phenology and crop types often vary substantially. We
The carbon balance of tropical, temperate and boreal forests.
- Plant Cell and Environment,
, 1999
"... ABSTRACT Forest biomes are major reserves for terrestrial carbon, and major components of global primary productivity. The carbon balance of forests is determined by a number of component processes of carbon acquisition and carbon loss, and a small shift in the magnitude of these processes would ha ..."

Flood generation in an intensively disturbed, abandoned farmland catchment, Central Spanish Pyrenees
- Catena
, 2005
"... Abstract This paper studies the hydrological response to rainstorm events of a small experimental catchment in the Central Spanish Pyrenees. The Arnás catchment was cultivated until 40 years ago, and then abandoned and affected by plant recolonisation, especially shrubs. A rainfall of a few mm is e ..."

Adaptation of Bird Communities to Farmland Abandonment in a Mountain Landscape
"... Widespread farmland abandonment has led to significant landscape transformations of many European mountain areas. These semi-natural multi-habitat landscapes are important reservoirs of biodiversity and their abandonment has important conservation implications. In multi-habitat landscapes the adapta ..."

The Accumulation of Organic Carbon in Mineral Soils by Afforestation of Abandoned Farmland
, 2012
"... The afforestation of abandoned farmland significantly influences soil organic carbon (OC). However, the dynamics between OC inputs after afforestation and the original OC are not well understood. To learn more about soil OC dynamics after afforestation of farmland, we measured the soil OC content in ..."
