Snabba förändringar i landskapet kan orsaka stora problem för olika ekosystemtjänster, speciellt när förändringarna sker i utsatta landskap. En sådan förändring har skett i Sverige de senaste hundra åren då skog har planterats på övergivna hagar, eller i vissa fall, även planterats på åkermark. Denna förändring beror på minskningen av djur ute på landsbygden, samt urbaniseringen som sker över hela
