Classes expressing farmed areas and land cover classes covering areas off the farm (e.g., grazed heathlands and other grazing areas in common usage), known to express other semi‐natural areas used as forage of fodder resources, were selected, and the total UAA per parish was determined (IEEP As land cover maps do not convey information on the land use intensity (Lomba et al. We conclude that more exploration of species’ abundance distributions is necessary and we suggest methods to use in future studies.Enter your email address below.

Assessing the location and extent of HNVfHNVf biodiversity hotspots constitute highly heterogeneous agriculture‐dominated landscapes, containing a diversity of land cover and a widespread occurrence of semi‐natural vegetation such as extensive grasslands (Bignal & McCracken HNV farmlands assessment in each EU Member State is mandatory under the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (EC, To address such challenges, and in agreement with the bottom‐up approach proposed by Lomba et al.

The concept of “High Nature Value farmlands” (hereafter HNVf; Beaufoy et al. Tel. More problematic than the percentage of studies that support the hypothesis is the finding that most studies inadequately sampled the species’ ranges. An added value of the approach is therefore a more refined identification of areas where land‐sharing for biodiversity conservation and/ or enhancement in the European countryside may be relevant or even essential and is not expected to cause conflicts with other (more intensive) land uses (Egan & Mortensen While at the local and regional level, the informed targeting of rural landscapes can enhance the ability of territories to support agro‐biodiversity maintenance and other ecosystem services (including provisioning, regulating, and cultural), and to support an informed targeting of rural landscapes to be supported by agro‐environmental payments, our approach can be applied across the EU countryside, thus contributing to a more realistic mapping and assessment of HNVf at the EU level.Even if the results of our approach are promising, there is room for improvement. input to this manuscript was partially funded by the Scottish Government Rural Affairs & Environment Portfolio Strategic Research Programme 2011‐2016, Theme 3: Land Use. We advocate that the implementation of this framework should be linked strongly to a collaborative European network (Lomba et al.
