Natural grassland remnants in dynamic agricultural landscapes: identifying drivers of fragmentation

Grasslands have been subject to contraction and fragmentation processes worldwide, mainly due to their transformation into commercial tree plantations and agricultural lands. Identifying the remaining grasslands areas and the drivers of its fragmentation constitute an important step towards their ap...
