In such areas where man has fundamentally transformed landscapes such as urban settings and agricultural  land conversion , the natural environment is greatly modified into a simplified human environment.

Defeat on Sunday would have effectively ended the Catalans' title hopes, but Messi's stoppage-time winner – his 500th goal for the club – saw them move level on points with their arch-rivals instead.
