It forms part of a cultural landscape, which imposes a challenge for management. The aim of this paper i…

We propose an interpretation of limonaie as a deeply anthropogenic, labour intensive, multifunctional landscape that shares many characteristics with the oases of the wider Mediterranean basin. Any intervention which aims at preserving the fragility and peculia…
