Description :
The paper investigates land use changes in a rural landscape with contrasting biophysical potential for agricultural production in western Denmark in a 136 year period (1870-2006). The purpose is to explore links between drivers of landscape change and observed changes during this period as well as to document the spatial variability of landscape changes. The environmental history of rural landscape is examined in order to highlight the co-evolution of the land use dynamics and major socio-economic, technological and legislative events.
