Wood-pastures play important ecological, agricultural and socio-cultural roles. A rapid decline due to changes in land use and a lack of tree regeneration has recently been observed all over Europe. Cadastral districts where wood-pastures covered min. 0.5% were chosen to study the habitat continuity. Despite the expansion of wood-pastures, almost all wood-pastures from the 19th century have been lost, mostly until 1950s. New wood-pastures were mostly formed from open habitats, often in former military areas.
