These show that the type of human activity, i.e. pastoral- ism alone or a more diversified farming economy, and continuity/discontinuity of occupation are the main fac- tors that determine the structure and evolution of the Holocene vegetation in the region. Neolithic pastoral ac- tivities were not continuous and so did not have an en- during influence on the natural environment. The more continuous and diversified exploitation associated with Bronze Age cultures was responsible for the develop- ment and maintenance of the low garrigues.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
