Abstract

Abstract The objective of this study was the classification of a Mediterranean humid mesothermal area (Csa) of central Macedonia into land systems, using LANDSAT images (1:250000 in scale). The information obtained was combined with field survey work in order to study the wide range of natural environmental conditions of the area. In general the survey area includes mountainous ridges up to 2054 m, hills up to 300m, plains either near flat or gently undulating and tectonic fill valleys about 150 m in elevation. During the survey the area was subdivided into 31 land systems according to distinctive combination of physiography, soils and vegetation. The land-system map produced by this method is of considerable interest because it provides the framework for more detailed geological, geomorphological, soil and land-use studies.
