Land cover 2012 Overview of land cover & change 2006-2012 The overall land cover change rate in Denmark, which has been below the European average in the long term, is continuously slowly decreasing. The structure of the landscape development in the country is colourful, with most of main land cover flows incorporated, which is not typical for most of European countries. The situation in the Danish landscape is characterised by relatively high rate of artificial sprawl, compared to the European average. Artificial land take is the main driver of the land cover change in Denmark, driven by the extension of the residential fabric as well as sport and leisure facilities, but also other types of artificial land development are visible in Denmark. The sprawl proceeds mostly at the expenses of agricultural, mostly arable land. The overall formation rate of artificial land is about 2.5% of initial urban area during the 6-years period. The other main change drivers, besides sprawl, are internal conversion of forested land, with increasing intensity of recent felling and transition from forest to shrub land, and internal agricultural flows, which occur with significantly higher intensity than in previous periods 1990-2000 and 2000-2006. There can be also observed some conversions between agricultural and natural land cover types in Danish landscape. Note: The results presented here are based on a change analysis of 44 land cover types mapped consistently on a 1:100.000 scale across Europe over more than decade between 2000-2006-2012 - see Corine land cover (CLC) programme for details.

% of initial year]

Residential sprawl slows down

Although its intensity shows a slightly decreasing tendency, artificial land take remains the main driver of land cover development in Denmark, with a mean annual land take rate safely above the European average. The internal structure of this phenomenon shows that it is driven mostly be diffuse residential (which is, however, less intensive than in the previous period) and sport and leisure facilities development. Besides it, also formation of industrial and commercial units plays its remarkable role in urban development. Concerning the source of land take, the sprawl consumes almost exclusively arable land, which is not surprising, as arable land constitutes about 85% of total agricultural land in the country. Not only sprawl, but also recycling of developed urban land (represented mostly by conversion of former construction sites into discontinuous urban fabric) is an important driver of Danish artificial development. The spatial pattern of sprawl is similar to the previous period, with concentration around major cities accompanied by scattered patches of land take distributed over whole country.

Agriculture (2006-2012)

Internal conversions occur in agricultural development

Agricultural land, with strongly prevailing share of arable land, is the main source for the artificial land take in the country. This flow of agricultural land consumption is the main driver of the land cover development in Denmark. The consumption of arable land is partially compensated by internal conversion from pasture to arable, which was not observed in Denmark during the previous period 2000-2006. In contrast, there occurred some internal development of agricultural land in the period 1990-2000, but its direction was opposite, with prevailing formation of pasture and set aside fallow land over arable. The other significant flow, which occurs in the Danish agricultural development, is the withdrawal of farming with woodland creation. This transition incorporates mostly conversion from arable land into transitional woodland and shrub areas.

Turnaround of forest internal change

Forest creation and management is the second most extensive flow of land cover development in Denmark. This flow is represented mostly by internal forest exchange, with prevailing recent felling and transition, which shows an opposite trend when compared to the period 2000-2006. Recent felling occurs with almost doubled intensity compared to previous period, in contrast to the opposite conversion from transitional woodland to forest, which has significantly lower intensity than in the period 2000-2006. Mainly coniferous forest is consumed in the frame of this flow, with 4% consumption of its initial area. The other source for formation of transitional woodland is the withdrawal of farming with forest creation. Also this flow consumes mainly arable agricultural land and contributes to its overall consumption, driven mostly be artificial sprawl. There was also a significant amount of semi-natural land rotation between peatbogs and salt marshes observed in previous period, however, this flow seems to completely disappear from Danish natural land in the 2006-2012.
