Abstract

In cultivated landscapes, land use patterns related to the diversity of crops, their spatial arrangement into patches and their succession over several years influence many biophysical processes and the production of ecosystem services and disservices. Understanding the determinants of these patterns is a prerequisite for the development of acceptable alternative land use patterns. Most studies deem crop distribution patterns at the landscape level to be the result of individual allocations of crop successions to fields designed at the farm level. However, in some parts of the world, there are collective crop successions that apply to groups of adjacent fields on different farms.
