Abstract(s)
Fast and continuous landscape changes have been considered as one of the strongest
drivers behind the loss of nature values, along with degradation and regimes of
ecological disturbances that have evident impacts on economic activities ( Olarieta
et al., 2008 ; Nuissl et al., 2009 ). The need to preserve the diversity, identity and cultural
heritage of landscapes and societal demand for sustainable development ( Roca
and Oliveira-Roca, 2007 ; van Eetvelde and Antrop, 2009a ) has led to initiatives for
inventorying, assessing and monitoring landscape dynamics (Meeus, 1995; Swanwick,
2002 ; Cancela d’Abreu et al., 2005 ). It has also improved landscape modelling based
on future scenarios ( van Berkel and Verburg, 2011 ).
