Land cover 2012 Overview of land cover & change 2006-2012 The development of the Serbian landscape seems to remain stable compared to previous period 2000-2006. The mean annual land cover change rate – 0.08% - is quite low, in comparison with other European countries – this illustrates low intensity of land cover development in the country. In the period 1990-2000, the pace of land cover change was a bit higher, with 0.11% annual change rate – it means that there even occurred a slight decrease of land cover development over time. The internal structure of changes in Serbia shows very similar pattern as in previous periods. The landscape development is driven mainly by forest creation and management and also by internal conversions of agricultural land. The urban sprawl, mostly of economic sites and infrastructures, represents the third most powerful driver of change in the Serbian landscape. All these three most intensive land cover flows in the country have only slightly higher intensity, compared to the period 2000-2006. The overall mean annual artificial land take rate (0.25%) is comparable with both previous periods observed; this value is safely below the European average. Similarly to the previous period, patches with land cover change are distributed more densely over the northern lowland region of Vojvodina, with the highest concentration around the capital city of Belgrade. 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.

Development of mining resorts

Compared to other European countries, the pace of artificial development in Serbia is quite low and it remains stable, in comparison with previous periods 1990-2000 and 2000-2006. The sprawl is driven by extension of mines, quarries and dump sites, as well as industrial and commercial units. The diffuse residential sprawl, which was very intensive during both previous periods, became rather weak in the period 2006-2012. This extension of urban fabric is located almost exclusively in the surroundings of the capital city of Belgrade in this period. The artificial development around other cities is represented by sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures. Especially the sprawl of mining sites is significant, concentrated in the Drmno/Kostolac and Lazarevac (coal) mining resorts. On the other hand, it has to be mentioned, that this extension is compensated by abandonment of mining patches and their overgrowth by natural vegetation in the same resorts. The sprawl of commercial/industrial sites and construction occurs with higher intensity compared to both previous periods.

Agriculture (2006-2012)

Turnover of internal agricultural development

Agricultural internal conversions are the second most powerful driver of change in the Serbian landscape – this situation is stable in the long term, over the observed three periods. However, there are variations in the prevailing direction of these conversions. In the last period 2006-2012, the extension (especially the diffuse one) of pasture, set aside and fallow land predominates over the opposite conversion of pasture to arable. This is the same trend as in the period 1990-2000, however, inverse as in the period 2000-2006. The other strong drivers of internal agricultural development are the conversions between vineyards/orchards and arable land with still prevailing formation of arable. However, the intensity of consumption of arable land by vineyards/orchards increased strongly, compared to previous period. External exchange of agricultural land is represented mainly by consumption by the sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures and also by the withdrawal of farming with woodland creation. On the other hand, the intensive conversion from semi-natural land to agriculture, which was significant during the previous period, lost most of its intensity and became rather low in the last period.

Forest and nature land development driven by internal flows

In the long term, forest creation and management is the most intensive land cover flow in the Serbian landscape. However, similarly to many other European countries, it is represented mostly by internal conversions between forest and transitional woodland (with prevailing share of recent felling and transition in both 2000-2006 and 2006-2012 periods). There also occurs significant amount of forest and shrub fires and water bodies’ creation in the natural land cover exchange in the country. From external flows, withdrawal of farming with woodland creation and afforestation (mostly of former mining land) contributes significantly to creation of new forested land.
