Abstract | Recent economic development has altered landscape structure and function of a mediterranean region in Southwestern Spain. Intensive agricultural systems have concentrated in the more fertile areas, while margi- nal ones have been abandoned. As a result, landscape structure has changed. Consequences of this structural change on landscape processes are discussed. |
