Balearic Islands Physical Environment

Agricultural landscape of the interior of the peninsula:
Both plateau and the depression of the Ebro The physical environment of this area has a high average altitude relief in the Plateau and a Mediterranean climate with low rainfall and summer frost risk in large areas of the north.
? E struc land. Population migrated causing depopulation and land abandonment in many areas, population concentrated in villages. Property system changed (small landholdings in the valley of the Duero and Ebro. Great properties in Salamanca, Burgos, castillalamancha). The land uses are varied.
? Agriculture. Dominates upland moors and countryside plateaus and non-irrigated areas of the Ebro Valley. It is dedicated to crops. Irrigation allows more intensive use.
It has now increased thanks to the use of irrigation water stored underground and q as possible to diversify production (industrial crops, fodder, fruits and vegetables).
? Livestock is important in certain areas: sheep and pigs. In Extremadura the landscape character is the paddock q extends to Salamanca and Zamora.
? Is charact logging in some areas such as land Pinariega Soria.
Agricultural landscape of mountains:
Physical environment with relief from high altitude and steep slopes. Climate with cold winter and abundant precipitation (as snow muxas veces).
? Structural land. With very low population density and depopulation trend, dispersed settlement. Predominant small prop in closed plots. Land uses several complementary.
? Agriculture. In the northern mountains (practiced in the valley bottoms and includes market gardening), but heat in the mountains of east and south (crops such as almonds and olives).
? Livestock in extensive pulp (northern mountains, cattle and sheep), (Mediterranean mountains, sheep).
? Logging. Take advantage of fuel wood and timber species such as eucalyptus, chestnut or pine.
Agricultural landscape of Islands:
Physical environment with rough volcanic relief and a warm climate all year round with low and erratic precipitation.
? Agrarian structure. Rural population in decline. Lax settlement concentrated in villages and hamlets. Agricultural property with significant contrasts between small farms and large farms in the coastal irrigation.
? Reduced cultivated area. In the coastal areas for operation monoculture and in the middle and upper areas of rainfed traditional agriculture for subsistence.
?Sheep and goat farming and associated with poor agriculture.
? Logging uses wood of pine trees and the heather and laurel fayal the charcoal.
