Local landscape dynamics in a traditional cork-oak agro-forest system (Sardinia)

The Alta Gallura region contributed to the development of Italian cork industry that since the nineteenth century has driven the improvement of a multi-functional model based on the breeding of beef cattle into the cork oak forests. The study case is a cork-oak agro-forest farm extended to 212 hectares, with a quantity of livestock close to 0.1 LU ha -1 . It were collected data from the farm registry (business records of the last 70 years) and by photo-interpretation of images related to 1955 (GAI), 1977 (CGR), 2006 (Terra Italy) and 2013 (AGEA).
