The 1832/33 Ottoman Property Survey of Cyprus, Geography Department of Harokopio University

Tree types

We organised the types of property recorded in the survey in four broad categories: lands, trees, buildings, and animals. The category of trees consists of vegetation recorded as property and measured in their number, not an area of cultivated land, as in the case of orchards, for example.
