Agro-pastoral landscapes of the Pyrenees are subject to fast spontaneous reforestation. The objective of this work is to assess the spatial patterns of land cover changes during the last 70 years in three study sites of the Pyrenees, and to compare the local dynamics in order to observe and to explain similarities and disparities.
