Abstract
Landscape change data for three lowland and two upland areas of the UK have been used to compare rates of change per annum in various landscape features and land uses. Data from a detailed questionnaire survey have enabled links to be drawn between changes in farm occupancy and the farmed landscape. Results have highlighted þree themes: the diversity of farm occupancy in the UK; the importance of locality and its modification of the agricultural restructuring process; and the often causal relationship between occupancy events on the farm and the propensity to ‘Intensify’ the farmed landscape through the removal of field boundaries, the ‘arablization’ of the lowlands and the Improvement of rough grazing in the uplands.
