Impact of pastoralism on desertification of Psilorites mountain in Crete, Greece

Menjli M., Papanastasis V.P.

Psilorites, the highest mountain of Crete, is the most desertified part of the island. Pastoralism is the main activity which is practised in a traditional and uncontrolled way thus afflicting severe damages to vegetation. The regression analysis between woody plant cover and stocking density of sheep and goats produced significant but not particularly high coefficients of determination suggesting that other factors besides pastoralism have been involved in the deforestation and desertification process of Psilorites.
