Geological-lithological characteristics of the research area are among natural factors shaping and diversifying land use. In the study area, there are olive groves and maquis / garrigue on the crystallized limestones (class VII) while in areas consisting of metamorphics (class VII) there are generally olive groves. On the Neogene volcanics (grades VI.-VII), there are red pine, maquis-garrigue, pasture and secondary housing areas. Olive groves are spread over Neogene lake sediments (class III.-IV). While there are olive groves in the areas consisting of tuff doped Neogene sediments (class III.-IV.- V.), tuffs (class VII) contain maquis-garrigue and olive groves. In the areas where conglomerates (class IV.-V) are spread, there are olive groves and dry agricultural areas whereas there are olive groves and settlements on the alluvial (deposit) cone-fans (class IV.-V). On the alluvions (class I.-II.-III.-IV), there are irrigated / dry farming, settlement and pasture areas.

In the research area, agricultural activities carried out on lands composed of tuffs, volcanites and metamorphics, where the slope exceeds 10% and have largely lost their natural vegetation, cause severe erosion.
