Abstract
Consequences of climate change affect islands such as Cuba, where its impact on agricultural landscapes is evident. Jimaguayú municipality in Camagüey, which has long been dedicated to intensive agricultural production, has affected its landscapes due to the inadequate use of its resources and services. The implementation of tools is necessary to achieve, on a larger scale, the application of good practices, because of their effectiveness in productive sites. The objective of this study is to offer a geoecological assessment of the “Llanura alta en suelos pardos y húmicos” landscape, in relation to sustainable land management and climate change adaptation. Methods and techniques for obtaining, analyzing, and processing data and information were applied, such as a bibliographic review, landscape analysis method, and the use of Geographic Information Systems. The study area is analyzed, and a methodological argument is made for landscape assessment in relation to sustainable land management. An evaluation of the landscape under study is presented, resulting in severe environmental problems and an altered geo-ecological state. The need to establish management actions aimed at climate change adaptation at landscape scale was demonstrated.
