摘要：Highlights•Hedgerow network mapping in a continental Mediterranean mountain using GIS and Remote Sensing.•Identify the different levels of surface soil moisture provided by images from the satellite Sentinel-2.•Analyse of the evolution of hedgerow area from 1956 to the present time from aerial pictures and satellite images and their correlation with surface soil moisture and slope.•A classification of hedgerow networks in the Mediterranean region (Central System, Spain).AbstractThe present paper addresses the methodology carried out to obtain a new classification of hedgerow networks in the Mediterranean region using GIS and Remote Sensing. A new methodology has been developed due to the need to establish a typification of the hedgerows in this sector of southern Europe, where the variable conditioning the localization, area and type of these landscapes is degree of surface soil moisture. In the continental Mediterranean context, this age-old agricultural system is closely linked to access to, and management of, water resources, which are vital in the dry season. For this reason, we mapped the hedgerow network of a continental Mediterranean mountain, establishing different levels of surface soil moisture provided by images from the satelliteSentinel-2.The results render three types of hedgerows: moist, semi-moist and dry, each one presenting clearly differentiated localizations and characteristics. To this can be added the analysis of the evolution of their area from 1956 to the present time from aerial pictures and satellite images and their correlation with surface soil moisture and slope. We present results on this tested method from the central sector of the Iberian Peninsula, Spain.•The presented procedure focuses on a new classification of hedgerow networks in the Mediterranean region based on the degree of surface soil moisture.•The method stablishes different levels of surface soil moisture provided by images from the satellite Sentinel-2.•The procedure allows us to analyze and correlate the evolution of Mediterranean hedgerows with surface soil moisture.Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted
