“…Overall, the proximity to densely settled territories (i.e., urban clusters) was confirmed to be a major driver of urban sprawl into Natura 2000 protected areas; sites affected by the highest degree of urbanization (urban cover and growth rates) were those surrounded by larger urban clusters in the European Union as a whole and in the majority of member states (Table 1). These results are in accordance with previous studies that show that land-cover changes that occurred inside this network over the last decades were mainly related to two contrasting patterns: land abandonment and naturalization in steep and remote areas and anthropization in accessible and populated areas (e.g., Kallimanis et al 2015;Martínez-Fernández et al 2015;Anderson & Mammides 2020).…”

“…Hermoso et al 2018a;Anderson & Mammides 2020). The actual magnitude of these land-cover changes inside Natura 2000 is probably greater because some of these changes may have been unnoticed due to the use of available categorical data on land-use covers and the small size of many Natural 2000 protected sites in comparison with the spatial resolution of land-cover data (i.e., 100 x 100 m in the best of cases, based on CORINE Land Cover) (Martínez-Fernández et al 2015;Anderson & Mammides 2020). As a result, and despite the increasing urban sprawl into the European countryside in the last decades (EEA 2016) and its relevance for biodiversity conservation, there is a lack of awareness of the degree of urbanization inside priority conservation areas in this protected-area (PA) network.…”

“…At the same time, agriculture is changing because of a wide range of drivers [6][7][8]. In general, the most productive areas are further intensified while the less easily managed, remote lands are reported to be abandoned [9][10][11][12][13]. Abandonment of agricultural land can be described as a process "whereby human control over land (e.g., agriculture, forestry) is given up and the land is left to nature" [14] (p. 1).…”

Abandonment of agricultural land is a process described from different regions of many industrialized countries. Given the current focus on land use, land use change and food security, it appears highly relevant to develop improved tools to identify and monitor the dynamics of agricultural land abandonment. In particular, the temporal aspect of abandonment needs to be assessed and discussed. In this study, we used the detailed information available through the Norwegian subsidy claim database and analyzed the history of use of unique land parcels through a fourteen-year period. We developed and tested five different statistics identifying these land parcels, their temporal dynamics and the extent of occurrence. What became apparent was that a large number of land parcels existing in the database as agricultural land were taken out of production, but then entered into production again at a later stage. We believe that this approach to describe the temporal dynamics of land abandonment, including how it can be measured and mapped, may contribute to the understanding of the dynamics in land abandonment, and thus also contribute to an improved understanding of the food production system.

“…As highlighted in specialized studies according to Leal Filho et al (2017), Rodrigo-Comino et al (2018), and the most recent being Anderson and Mammides (2020), the abandonment of agricultural land creates cause-effect relationships on ecosystem services, in this case an increased carbon storage, affecting sustainability [1][2][3].…”

This paper aims to highlight in a unique way the effects on sustainable agricultural systems due to the global growth of the development of the communications system. From the very beginning, we discussed the disruptions of climate change and, in particular, the risk of disaster, which causes long academic debates regarding electromagnetic radiation. During the study, we conducted empirical research using the wide range of receptors and a detailed determination bridge; we used quantitative methods to collect the processes and analyze the data and information incorporated to formulate observations and conclusions. The aim of this paper is to highlight an assessment for obtaining an answer to the possible causes of climate disturbances in agriculture, given the epistemic uncertainty. Mainly, we will reflect on the effects that interfere with the level of electromagnetic radiation produced by antennas. Opening advanced technologies with new satellite capabilities is expensive, so now, the density of high-power data transmissions useful in digital agriculture is the technical solution of operators. Our empirical research experimentally analyzes the data we collect in the statistical monitoring of electromagnetic waves, investigating to what extent the electromagnetic radiation affects agricultural systems concerned with trying to sequester C from the soil and reduce greenhouse effects. The paper defines and presents the evolution of the impact of new technologies developed in order to facilitate the implementation of intelligent agricultural solutions, admitting that the opening of new technologies facilitates the creation of the economically and socially interconnected global community (McLuchan, 1973). Taking into account the intensification of the use of digital agriculture, the analysis proposed for research is a topic that needs updating, and in this sense, it is necessary that this research be analyzed from environmental perspectives.
