Abstract

The article analyses the results of the scheme for field afforestation (EU-regulation 2080/92) in Denmark. The purpose is twofold, firstly to document the afforestation on arable land taking place both within the scheme and outside the scheme for field afforestation. The former is documented in Ribe and Vejle counties whereas the latter is documented in three smaller areas: Varde, Vorbasse, and Vejle. Secondly, the article argues that in order to evaluate the afforestation not only the location within designated areas but also the spatial parameters and configuration of new woodlands must be considered. Two methods -‘forest-pictures' and ‘gradient-pictures'- are presented and applied in order to quantify the spatial configuration of new woodlands in the landscape.
