The Human Degradation of Mediterranean Landscapes in Israel

It is now generally agreed that the Mediterranean region has suffered more than other regions in the world from landscape decay and desiccation,not because of adverse climatical changes, as Huntington (1924) claimed, but as a result of man’s misuse of this landscape (Lowdermilk, 1944; Reifenberg, 1955; Butzer, 1961; Whyte, 1961).

“Behold, the Lord thy God giveth thee a good land, a land of water, brooks and fountains that spring out of the valley and depths, a land of wheat and barley, of vines, figs and pomegranates, of olive oil and honey, a land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it.” (Deuteronomy 8: 7–9.)
