2 hrs confidence: 
winter fallow land Explanation: Implicit in answer. Note: the "grönmark" asked about under a different heading is "winter-planted land", commonly called "green area". My geriatric brain. |

18 hrs confidence: 
brownfield Explanation: A suggestion - in English town planning, you often hear about about 'greenfield' sites, meaning new ones, still a 'green field', and 'brownfield' sites, such as old industrial sites, gasworks, etc brown from pollution. In both cases, just a single word, greenfield and brownfield. See the references for examples. Reference: http://society.guardian.co.uk/housing/news/0,8366,670649,00....
