Abstract

The overall aim of ACCELERATES is to assess vulnerability of European agroecosystems to environmental change. This will be achieved through an assessment of a) the rate, extent and dynamics of changes in agricultural land use arising from climate, policy and socio-economic pressures b) the impact of agricultural land use and climate change on biological resources c) the vulnerability of agroecosystems based on economic and environmental considerations.The two phases of the research will be 1) building an integrated modelling framework including models for crop growth, farm decision- making, species distribution and species dispersal; 2) applying this integrated framework to test the effect of different scenarios of climatic and socio-economic change on European-wide agricultural land use and the response of the species.
