until the 1960s (a practice mentioned by on other Aegean islands as well) and terraces are the dying marks of that practice. Data for terraces presence in grazing lands reveal that they were important (7.2% for the island and 14% for the grazing land zone,, but cultivation in terraces on the island is abandoned and terraces deteriorate due to grazing of sheep and goats.Farmers have declared that terraces are destroyed in about 80% of their grazing lands, and there has been no farmer who actually maintains terraces, a fact that is confirmed by observation. Therefore, if the last terraces in grazing lands were abandoned in the 1950s or 1960s, their low quality reveals that they were originally of lower building quality, and observations illustrate that those found in the grazing landzone are shallow, and rather loosely built. This is understandable, as terraces in the grazing lands zone had to be built in much shallower soils to reduce the steepness of the slope, while terraces in groves and especially olives have to provide more soil to the tree observe the
same differences in other parts of the Aegean). Other terraced land uses include orchards (mainly chestnuts, some cherries, pears and apples), but the areas are small compared to the total cultivated area of the island (0.3%).
