Resumen
The anthropogenic sealing of soils is a physical and environmental degradation process, both locally and regionally, and causes loss of soil resources due to its coating materials for housing, roads, etc. The aim of this study was to verify, in the eastern sector of the Campo de Cartagena (Murcia), urban expansion, which has taken place in recent decades and see the consequences that this has occurred in relation to soil sealing. For this study, we used: aerial imagery and satellite images of the 1980 and 2007, fieldwork and data collection of municipal agricultural statistics. As a conclusion was obtained that from 1981 to 2007, the sealed soil surface in the study area has increased from just over 1,000 has to almost 4,000 has, representing an increase of 362%.
