Indicators of landscape organization and functionality in semi-arid former agricultural lands under a passive restoration management over two periods of abandonment
(Elsevier Science, 2016-07)
Abandoned lands previously used for agricultural purposes may constitute an opportunity for understandingthe variables involved in the restoration of native ecosystems over time. In this study, weassessed the functional ...
