Agricultural landscapes are areas of

countryside transformed by primary sector activities (also the ones adapted for hunting and inhabited areas transformed by humans for economical activities)

PLOTS are pieces of land For agricultural plots, it is important to consider

– Shape whether they are uniform (rectangular, round, etc.) or irregular Uniform – plots are common in recent farming areas as the centre of the United States). Irregular plots are common in regions that have been farmed for a very long time or adapted to reliet.

-Size whether they are medium sized very large estates or small smallholdings

– Boundaries wether they are open open field typical in Central Europe and separated by a narrow uncultivated strip of land. Or closed (bocage), more common in Atlantic Europe and separated by walls or hedgers of trees and shrubes

Uniform shape is also found where the government has redistributed old plots

Land consolidation in grouping small plots of land into arger properties to make forming easier

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

Most plots are owned by individuals but there are several forms of multiple ownership:

State ownership, This is the case of China, where plots tend to be large and uniform Ownership by a land cooperative, where several owners share their plots

Common land, which is typical in areas that use traditional agriculture and livestock farming practices. It can be seen in the mountainous areas of Spain

TYPES OF CROPS

Agricultural landscapes can be identified by the colour and appearance of their most common plants we can distinguish between

Annuat ar herbaceous, such as fields at cereals wheat, rice. barley, etc

Perennial or woody, with plants that ve for several years twelve trees, ape vines. fruit trees and tres uned to supply wood)
