use is defined as grain and corn (56%), grass (29%),
forest (7%), heather (5%), and urban (2%) on the basis of
satellite data. Most of the forest consists of conifer trees.
Since 1990 the agricultural area covered by corn has
increased from less than 1% to approximately 10% at the
expense of root crops (primarily beets) and rape [Statistics
Denmark]. However, in this study grain and corn

goods consumption, reducing Heavy Goods Vehicle traffic
12. Shift to biological primary resource inputs, reducing the need for mining,
