SUMMARY: The example of the region of western upper-Languedoc is used to examine the ambiguities which arise when fallow land is used as evidence of agricultural decline. Land abandonment is a reversible and incomplete process, but it leads to successive changes of varying degrees of rapidity in the landscape ; these produce a return to natural forest vegetation. However, other forms of use of abandoned areas (e.g. urban development, tourism or afforestation), may alos gradually remove the traces of agricultural decline. In contrast, certain areas of moorland and "garrigue" vegetation, whose stable form prevents them from being regarded as abandoned land, form an integral part of the landscape heritage.
