Objective
The main objective is to characterize the landscape evolution in the different european mediterranean areas with a special attention given to the
definition of strategies for the recuperation of areas subdued to desertification processes.
The work will focus on the establishment of criteria for Mediterranean landscapes
management based on the trends observed in long-term environmental changes. The
research will be developed according to the following points: Territorial and chronological characterisation of the bioclimatic evolution in the critical areas; evaluation of the vulnerability of the vegetal landscape; obtention of action guidelines with regard to the protection of recoverable areas; establishment of optimisation patterns of the natural values of the landscape in relation with the confluence of bioecological, geomorphological patterns and human activities.
In order to accomplish the purposed objectives, the obtention of sedimentary
sequences in the critical areas is proposed. Holocene sediments from mediterranean zones in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and North Africa will
be investigated.
The vertebrating discipline of these tasks will be the palynology which allows to obtain information on the chronological and spatial dynamics of the desertification
processes. Furthermore the recovered registers will be studied from an interdisciplinary point of view including several other techniques (Plant macroremains analysis, Phytogeography,
Palaeobioclimatology, Theoretical Primary Production, Water use efficiency and N use efficiency, 13C analysis, Terrestrial molluscs analysis, Geomorphology, Magnetic susceptibility, Tephra analysis, Sedimentology and Archaeology).
