We have studied the present-day spatial distribution of terraced lands and their current uses in the main mountainous area of the Mallorca island. A pattern of physical factors affecting the terraces has been established; the greatest significance belongs to lithology, slope and altitude. The process of land degradation and the transitional process of conversion to vegetation-covered land have been quantified. This conversion has affected up to 25 % of the terraced lands during the last 25 years.
