Abstract
Climate change is a reality that affects the daily lives of communities around the world, mainly due to the increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme weather phenomena. However, there are other concerns caused by climate change, notably those caused by crop and forest crop growth cycles, and which will be addressed in a separate chapter. Thus, in this chapter the theme is framed, highlighting some examples of situations that occurred on a large scale and all over the world, related to profound changes in climate, with anthropic origin.

“Montado” is the Portuguese designation to a forest composed mainly by cork oak and holm oak, very common in South Portugal and Spain. It is a remaining agro-forest-pastoralism system created in the Mediterranean basin.
