Location and main Characteristics of Marginal lands in Europe in 2050
Short Introductive summary
The aim of this paper is to present the results from work done in the MIDAS project on mapping current and future marginal lands taking account of most recent data available and climate change effects. In addition, we will present for these future lands to which extend they are likely to overlap with abandoned, and degraded lands, with high soil and wind erosion affected areas and the presence of specific (provisioning and regulating) ecosystem services.
