Abstract: Departing from recent studies on Early Islamic-period agroecosystems in sand along the Mediterranean coast of Israel, we present in this editorial introduction seven papers of a Special Issue titled Connectivity of Agrotechnologies between Late Antiquity and Early Modern Times in the Mediterranean Region. The papers focus on the evolution of agricultural practices in form, space and time, the development of agricultural earthworks and systems, ancient to traditional agroecosystems' global catalysts and transfer mechanisms and impacts of agricultural practices on societal resilience to environmental and social change, mainly in marginal lands between Iran and Iberia. The results of these studies appear to be partly relevant and applicable to some modern agricultural practices and geo-heritage and preservation activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
