This information is especially valuable in biodiversity hotspots such as the Mediterranean region, where agricultural land expansion can result in detrimental effects such as soil erosion and the loss of native species. There has also been a growing concern that changing agricultural extent in fire-prone regions of the Mediterranean may increase fire risk due to accumulation of fuel in abandoned areas. In this study, we assessed the extent and change of agricultural land in Southern Greece from 1986 to 2020 using a combined European Land Use\/Cover Area frame Survey (LUCAS) and Landsat time series approach. The LUCAS data and Landsat spectral-temporal metrics were used to train a random forest classifier, which was used to classify arable land and permanent agriculture (e.g., olive orchards, vineyards) at annual time steps. A post-processing step was taken to reduce spurious landcover class transitions using transition likelihoods and annual class membership likelihoods. A validation dataset consisting of 2666 samples, identified via a stratified random sampling approach and high-resolution imagery and time series analysis, were used to evaluate stable and change strata accuracies. Overall accuracies were greater than 70% and strata-specific accuracies were highly variable between stable and change strata. The results show that southern Greece has experienced a recent gain in arable land (~12,000 ha from ~2009\u20132020) and a much larger gain in permanent agriculture (&gt;115,000 ha from ~1993\u20132020). Arable land loss mainly occurred from 1987 to ~2002 when extent decreased by 15,000 ha, of which 66% was abandoned. The semi-automated approach described in this paper provides a promising approach for monitoring agricultural land change and enabling assessments of agriculture policy effectiveness and environmental impacts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14143369","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,14]],"date-time":"2022-07-14T00:12:40Z","timestamp":1657757560000},"page":"3369","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Mapping Arable Land and Permanent Agriculture Extent and Change in Southern Greece Using the European Union LUCAS Survey and a 35-Year Landsat Time Series Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1286-3770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aaron M.","family":"Sparks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest, Rangeland, and Fire Sciences, College of Natural Resources, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imen","family":"Bouhamed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geoinformation in Environmental Management, Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania, 73100 Chania, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6525-4413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luigi","family":"Boschetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest, Rangeland, and Fire Sciences, College of Natural Resources, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0056-5629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis Z.","family":"Gitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Forestry and Natural Environment, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5217-7164","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chariton","family":"Kalaitzidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geoinformation in Environmental Management, Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania, 73100 Chania, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"502","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1475-2743.2011.00367.x","article-title":"The effects of cover crops and conventional tillage on soil and runoff loss in vineyards and olive groves in several Mediterranean countries","volume":"27","author":"Llewellyn","year":"2011","journal-title":"Soil Use Manag."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"853","DOI":"10.1038\/35002501","article-title":"Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities","volume":"403","author":"Myers","year":"2000","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1007\/s10584-011-0060-6","article-title":"Fire regime changes in the Western Mediterranean Basin: From fuel-limited to drought-driven fire regime","volume":"110","author":"Pausas","year":"2012","journal-title":"Clim.
