“…Ranches may consolidate and shift from a focus on learning and adaptation, and diversification of income streams, to adoption of new technologies for manipulating the environment, increasing livestock numbers, and reducing dependence on sustaining the health of arid rangelands that cannot produce more than the weather allows. At the landscape scale, intensification can lead to large-scale simplification (Geri et al 2010, Plieninger 2011, as homogenization and streamlining of production creates a uniform model for land management. The entire system becomes increasingly reliant on cultivation and its energy, chemical, and water inputs.…”

“…The coefficients of OLS indicate the general tendency of compact city factors influencing UGS, e.g., a higher degree of urban compaction, leads to higher UGS (see Table 3). However, the OLS results appear to be unable to show spatial non-stationarity across cities [38,41,44,45].…”

“…Se ha producido, por tanto, una intensificación de la agricultura en las zonas más mecanizables, y una renaturalización del medio en áreas donde la agricultura era una actividad marginal, como son las zonas de montaña (Fernández-Ales et al 1992). Estos resultados, motivados en buena medida por el abandono de las zonas rurales (Weissteiner et al 2011), son similares a los identificados en otras zonas de la cuenca mediterránea (Geri et al 2010). …”

“…El abandono de las actividades tradicionales en esas zonas rurales propició, como anteriormente comentamos, una homogenización del paisaje como consecuencia de la renaturalización de las parcelas antiguamente dedicadas a la agricultura Acevedo et al 2011) y de caza menor (adaptados de Delibes-Mateos et al 2010y Farfán et al 2012 en dos décadas diferentes. (Fernández-Ales et al 1992;Geri et al 2010). En este nuevo escenario, dominado por la vegetación natural y por la baja presión humana, los ungulados encuentran condiciones más adecuadas para expandirse y aumentar sus poblaciones.…”
