NA-ROSSELLO, R., BUNCE, R.C.H. & BARR, C.J. 1984, A study of the effects of the changes in data structure on a preliminary land clasrification of the Iberian peninsula. (Merlewood research and development paper no. BE). Grange-over-Sands: Institute of Terrestrial Ecology.
PREFACE 1 The study demonstrates the ability of the land classification procedure to utilise whatever date are readily available, even if these are at a low level of detail. Regional classes that show clear cut regional patterns are still produced. 2 Such classifications can be carried out rapidly - an important feature in some applications, eg the setting up of a sampling system for a Third World country. The levels of detail can be improved as required. 3 Some useful methodological developments are explored in the study which have subsequently been built into other projects. 4 The project is a good example of a collaborative venture, with the three authors sharing various tasks in the work. Since returning to Spain Dr Rossello has epplied the principles Of the land classification procedure to several projects, eg on the growth of Qercus pyrdca in central Spain and a paper on the methodology in Spanish. Currently a classification of Navarra hU been caapleted and is at presentbeing evaluated for planning purpomes. Preliminary re#ultS show well defined geographical groupings that are readily interpretable. This projectisbeing used as a pilot scheme for poasible extension to Spain M a whole. It is hoped that there -11 be further collaboration on this project and that contact rill be maintained in future. R G E BmcB August 1984
