Land Cover Change as Land Degradation Indicator in Areas Characterized by High Anthropic Pressure due to Agropastoral Activities

D'Angelo M., Madrau S., Pulina G., Enne G.

The overexploitation of natural resources due to agropastoral activities is considered cause of land degradation. Land cover changes in the period 1977-96 related to agropastoral activities were studied in an area of north-eastern Sardinia (Italy). The major changes identified were from naturally vegetated areas (maquis and forested areas) to improved pasture areas, the main land degradation phenomena were observed. On those areas where improvement actions on unsuitable land were carried out.
