- WORDS:
- 6450
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 69.99 GBP
This report focuses on calculating a relative and then absolute date for the terraces in this region of South East Spain, enabling to establish whether human beings have been responsible for soil degradation on the land mass. On the assumption that the anthropogenic land degradation would have only significantly occurred in the last 5000 years, this is the time period that the paper studies. The hypothesis that erosion could be due to a natural process, highly erosive rocks and a harsh climate is mooted. The report focuses on collecting and analysing sets of soil and landscape characteristics in order to answer this hypothesis.
