The paper has the following focus:

  • Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) occurrence and change over time is quantified.
  • We cover different farming systems in Southwest, Central and Southeast Europe.
  • CAP is not actively encouraging the establishment of new biodiversity-fostering GBI.
  • GBI most valuable for biodiversity like grasslands have significantly decreased.
  • Farmers’ perception of GBI seems driven by production management decisions
