Large-scale reforestation and afforestation policy in Spain: A historical review of its underlying ecological, socioeconomic and political dynamics
Abstract
We studied fourteen variables about reforestation in Spain from 1879 to 2006. We related the variables with the ecological, political and socieconomic context. More than five million hectares were reforested. Three different stages explain the process and its landscape-level impact. The species used changed in every period, native pines were the most used.
