Abstract(s)

Pastoral systems based on grazing itineraries, very common along the Mediterranean region, provides an opportunity to search feeding resources at landscape scale under a silvopastoral system called by San Miguel (2004) as “Mosaic of different land uses within one management unit”. However daily and seasonal movements of flocks bring on different Grazing Pressure (GP) over the landscape. The GP in a given location depends on the distance from the stable to the parish border, the distance to the stable, the heads of livestock and their preferences for land use and land cover (LULC).
