Land cover 2012 Overview of land cover & change 2006-2012 The land cover development in Lithuania is getting slower, compared to the previous periods. With an annual change rate of 0.18%, its speed is slightly below the European average in the 2006-2012 period. This pace was a bit higher in the period 2000-2006, with a mean annual land take rate of 0.25%. However, both these values show a significant decrease of the land cover change intensity compared to the period 1990-2000, which was characterized by a change rate of 0.48% per year. The main reason for this slowdown is the rapid decrease of the intensity of forest conversions, which were and still are the main drivers of the landscape development in the country. The intensity of both recent felling and opposite forest creation is about two times lower, compared to previous periods. In contrast, the intensity of the withdrawal of farming with woodland creation, which was rather low in the past, significantly increased and this flow plays now an important role in the Lithuanian land cover exchange. Beside these two flows, also the internal agricultural conversions remain to be one of the main drivers of the land cover change, although several times weaker compared to the period 1990-2000, during which internal agricultural development was the most important driver of the landscape development in Lithuania. The artificial land take is concentrated mostly around three largest Lithuanian cities – Vilnius, Kaunas and Kleipeda and is driven mainly by the construction and extension of mineral extraction areas. Its intensity is not very high – with an annual artificial land take rate of 0.3%, it is slightly below the European average. It is comparable with the previous period 2000-2006, however, the sprawl intensity was significantly lower before in Lithuania – in the period 1990-2000, the annual land take rate was only 0.07%. Note: The results presented here are based on a change analysis of 44 land cover types mapped consistently on a 1:100.000 scale across Europe over more than decade between 2000-2006-2012 - see Corine land cover (CLC) programme for details.

Formation of residential fabric culminates

The recent rate of artificial land take in Lithuania is comparable to the previous period 2000-2006, in contrast to the net formation rate of artificial land, which decreased a bit. It indicates that not only the sprawl, but also the consumption of artificial surfaces (represented by afforestation or agricultural land creation over former mineral extraction sites) occurs in Lithuania. Recycling of developed urban land is the most extensive flow in the frame of artificial development in the country. A formation of discontinuous urban fabric, which was the main driver of the artificial development already in previous periods, continues with almost doubled intensity in the period 2006-2012. However, this residential area formation is realized mainly through finalization of units, which were under construction already during the previous period. The land take itself is driven mainly by new construction, together with the extension of mines and quarry areas. The sprawl is concentrated mostly in the surroundings of the capital city Vilnius (mostly recycling of developed urban land with residential units formation) and also of two other major Lithuanian cities – Kaunas and Klaipeda.

Agriculture (2006-2012)

Rapid increase of withdrawal of farming

The overall dynamics of agricultural development in Lithuania is high, and agricultural conversions belong to the major forces in the frame of land cover exchanges. The two most significant conversions of the Lithuanian agricultural land are the internal conversion from pasture to arable and also the withdrawal of farming with transitional woodland creation. While the first one was obvious already during the previous period, withdrawal of farming is much stronger in the 2006-2012 and became the second most extensive flow in Lithuania. Concerning the spatial distribution of these transitions, conversion from pasture to arable is uniformly scattered over most of the country, while the majority of the withdrawal of farming is concentrated in the eastern part of Lithuania. As a result of this development, pastures and agriculture with natural vegetation have negative balance of net change, in contrast to the arable land, with prevailing formation of area. Agricultural land is also consumed by the sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures, mostly by the extension of construction sites.

Woodland creation becomes an important driver

Compared to the previous period, the intensity of the internal forest conversions significantly decreased, in contrast to the withdrawal of farming with forest creation, which became much stronger in the 2006-2012 period. Mostly, transitional woodland and shrub has been created in the frame of this flow. The overall balance of forested and natural land shows consumption of all forested types (broad-leaved, coniferous and mixed forest) and formation of transitional woodland and shrub – this balance is caused by both recent felling and transitional woodland formation over mainly pasture land. The geographical distribution of forest land conversion shows a similar pattern as in previous period with major concentration of withdrawal of farming located into the eastern part of the country. An interesting process which occurs in Lithuanian landscape is the abandonment of former mineral extraction sites with transitional woodland creation.
