El papel del relieve en la definición de unidades de paisaje : el caso de Muntanyes d'Ordal (Barcelona)

Abstract

This paper deals on the importance of the relief in the landscape and, particularly, in the definition of landscape units. It establishes a classification that differentiates three approaches, according to the relief methodological treatment. Finally it develops a methodology according to surveys with geomorphological basis that is applied to Muntanyes d’Ordal (Barcelona). The results are completed with detailed cartography, where 36 units are identified, and with a succinct reflection on the goodness and difficulties of the employed method.
