Land use distribution map of the study area.
Current land use composition of the study site at the farmstead Companhia das Lezírias S.A., Portugal, about 50 km outside Lisbon. Adapted from Gonçalves, Alcobia, Simões, & Santos-Reis [26] and last updated in 2013 by Curveira-Santos, Marques, Björklund, & Santos-Reis [27], inset map: Openstreetmap showing Portugal (grey border) and location of the farmstead (pin).
Fig 2.
Land use distribution in current state and scenarios.
Visual representations of the three future land use scenarios developed by consulting the forest manager of Companhia das Lezírias. Numbers shown are absolute for number of cattle per hectare and percent change compared to current area of each land use.
Fig 3.
Land use composition maps for current state and scenarios.
Study area maps showing the baseline scenario (current land use composition) and how land use would be changed under the three future land use scenarios described in Fig 2. Inset map a) shows the North-West residential development area, inset map b) the South-West residential development area.
