Description
  • Hay meadows are of high importance for European agriculture in temperate and humid regions and occupy a large proportion of the landscape (13.2% of the total area or 568 042 km2 within the EU 27) (EUROSTAT 2010). Permanent grasslands are defined in the EU as agricultural surfaces that are under land use for several, usually more than five, consecutive years and are covered by herbaceous forage crops, either naturally (through self-seeding) or through cultivation (sowing). They are not included in the crop rotation scheme on the agricultural holding and can be either managed as pastures with grazing livestock or through mowing for hay and silage. Such grasslands are dominated usually by only a few key species (Beierkuhnlein et al., 2011). Proportion and acreage of agriculture land used as grasslands however varies greatly over the EU depending primarily on the climate and soil conditions of the given region. Distribution of grassland areas over various climates is documented by Table 1 that contains estimates of landuse patterns throughout the 12 distinct Environmental zones over Europe (Figure 1a) as defined by Metzger et al. (2005). Table 1 also documents that the regions where grasslands are most productive, they are not dominating type of land use in the agricultural landscape as other types of agriculture activity is more profitable. It is also obvious that effect of climate change on grasslands will be region dependent and will also greatly vary with the character of change. While increased precipitation and temperature (and thus growing season length) together with higher CO2 content will likely lead to higher yields the opposite trends are expected for Mediterranean area and increased variability for %22in between%22 regions as e.g. Central Europe. The presented contribution at first analyzes agroclimatic limitations of grassland production over 12 Environmental zones and then discusses four areas in which grasslands could be affected by climate change i) change
