  • Late Pleistocene deglaciation in the upper Gállego Valley, central Pyrenees

    Open AccessDavid Palacios, Nuria Andrés et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2015

    Deglaciation processes in the upper Gállego Valley, central–southern Pyrenees, were studied using geomorphological mapping and 36 Cl cosmogenic dating of moraine and rock glacier boulders, as well as polished bedrock. Although the precise position of the Gállego Glacier during the global last glacial maximum is not known, there is evidence that ice tongues retreated to the headwaters, which caused subdivision of the main glacier into a number of …

  • Holocene and ‘Little Ice Age’ glacial activity in the Marboré Cirque, Monte Perdido Massif, Central Spanish Pyrenees

    Open AccessSantiago Beguería, José M García-Ruiz et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Cited by: 2References: 21

    The Marboré Cirque, which is located in the southern Central Pyrenees on the north face of the Monte Perdido Peak (42°40′0′′N; 0.5°0′′W; 3355 m), contains a wide variety of Holocene glacial and periglacial deposits, and those from the ‘Little Ice Age’ (‘LIA’) are particularly well developed. Based on geomorphological mapping, cosmogenic exposure dating and previous studies of lacustrine sediment cores, the different deposits were dated and a sequ…

  • Response of vegetation to drought time-scales across global land biomes

    Open AccessSergio M Vicente-Serrano, Sergio M Vicente‐Serrano et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2013

    We evaluated the response of the Earth land biomes to drought by correlating a drought index with three global indicators of vegetation activity and growth: vegetation indices from satellite imagery, tree-ring growth series, and Aboveground Net Primary Production (ANPP) records. Arid and humid biomes are both affected by drought, and we suggest that the persistence of the water deficit (i.e., the drought time-scale) could be playing a key role in…

  • Landslide map of the upper Gállego Valley (central Spanish Pyrenees)

    Open AccessJesús Guerrero, Francisco Gutierrez et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2012

    A 1:5000 scale geomorphological landslide inventory map of the glaciated headwaters of the Gállego River in the Spanish Pyrenees is presented. This map, covering an area of 57.6 km2 and mainly produced by direct mapping in the field, provides a more comprehensive and accurate picture of the distribution of slope movements than previous maps. Around 20% of the area is affected by large flow-dominated slope movements developed on Paleozoic slates. …

  • A Multiscalar Drought Index Sensitive to Global Warming

    Sergio M Vicente-Serrano, Sergio M Vicente‐Serrano et al.ARTICLEJournal of Climate2010

    The authors propose a new climatic drought index: the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The SPEI is based on precipitation and temperature data, and it has the advantage of combining multiscalar character with the capacity to include the effects of temperature variability on drought assessment. The procedure to calculate the index is detailed and involves a climatic water balance, the accumulation of deficit/surplus at d…

  • Forests and Their Hydrological Effects in Mediterranean Mountains

    Open AccessMaría Pilar Serrano-Muela, Noemí Lana‐renault et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2008

    This article considers the effects of forests on the hydrology of a Mediterranean mountain area. Variations of climate factors, discharge, interception, and water table depth in the San Salvador forested experimental catchment in the Central Spanish Pyrenees were studied and the results compared with those from two deforested catchments. The hydrological response of the San Salvador catchment had the following properties: 1) it had both smaller p…

  • Climate variability in the Spanish Pyrenees during the last 30,000 yr revealed by the El Portalet sequence

    Open AccessP González-Sampériz, Penélope González‐Sampériz et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2006

    Palynological, sedimentological and stable isotopic analyses of carbonates and organic matter performed on the El Portalet sequence (1802 m a.s.l., 42°48′00ʺN, 0°23′52ʺW) reflect the paleoclimatic evolution and vegetation history in the central-western Spanish Pyrenees over the last 30,000 yr, and provide a high-resolution record for the late glacial period. Our results confirm previous observations that deglaciation occurred earlier in the Pyren…

  • Geomorphic and Hydrological Effects of Traditional Shifting Agriculture in a Mediterranean Mountain Area, Central Spanish Pyrenees

    Open AccessTeodoro Luque Martínez, Teodoro Lasanta et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2006

    Shifting agriculture has been practiced over large areas in middle-latitude mountains in the Mediterranean basin during periods of strong demographic pressure. On average, such land accounted for about 22.8% of the total cultivated area in the Central Spanish Pyrenees at the beginning of the 20th century. The use of experimental plots between 1992 and 2003 demonstrated that shifting agriculture increased overland flow, suspended sediment, and sol…

  • Assessing the Effect of Climate Oscillations and Land-use Changes on Streamflow in the Central Spanish Pyrenees

    Santiago Beguería, Santiago Beguerı́a et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2003Cited by: 6

    Plans to increase the amount of irrigated land in Mediterranean countries should consider how changes in climate and land-use affect water resources. In this study, both precipitation and temperature were used to analyze regional trends in discharge in the basins of the Central Spanish Pyrenees since the mid-20th century. Annual variations in the relationship between precipitation and discharge suggested that discharge was relatively lower in the…

  • Factors Explaining the Spatial Distribution of Hillslope Debris Flows

    Open AccessAdrián Lorente, José M García-Ruiz et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2002

    The spatial distribution of 961 debris flows in the Upper Aragón and Gállego valleys (Central Spanish Pyrenees) was analyzed. Most were located in the Flysch Sector (with a colluvium mantle derived from strongly tectonically modified materials), between 1000 and 1400 m above sea level, on 25–35° gradients with sunny exposure. These gradients were either hillslopes covered by frequently burned scrubland, abandoned fields, or reforested land, confi…

  • Historical Geomorphic Processes and Human Activities in the Central Spanish Pyrenees

    Open AccessSantiago Beguería, José M García-Ruiz et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development1998

    In the Central Spanish Pyrenees there is a great diversity of geomorphic processes due to topographic and climatic het- erogeneity and altitudinal gradient. Human activity during the last 4,000 years has contributed to the disturbance of the original landscape and its hydro-morphological dynamics. The upper forest belt was destroyed by fire during the Middle Ages in order to provide summer pastures to transhumant livestock. The hillslopes below 1…
