Land-Use Changes in the Spanish Pyrenees

Abstract: This paper discusses the evolution ofland use in the Spanish Pyrenees and the environmental and demographic factors that led to change. The traditional system depended upon a complex social organization and abundant cheap labor; there was extensive summer grazing for sheep which in winter moved to the Ebro Basin; and, despite the unfavorable environment, the cultivation of cereals was important.
