Relating Land-Use Intensity And Biodiversity At The Regional Scale, Basic &
Appl. Ecol.
 









Abstract: Changes in biodiversity are often attributed to economically driven
land-use changes, but the relation is not too well documented. Land-use changes
involve both changes to a different function and shifts in intensity within a
function. The relation between land-use changes and biodiversity changes at the
meso-level in the province of Drenthe is the object of study of the present
paper. Commonly available indicators about land-use and biodiversity appear to
be related to each other in complicated ways. The biodiversity parameters that
react most unambiguously to changing land-use are plant functional types. The
clearest relation is found when changes to a different function occur.
