Paleosol charcoal
Mountain forests are sensitive ecosystems. This is why in recent years the dynamics of these forest ecotones have been researched from several different approaches. One of these has been the paleoecological perspective, which is particularly interesting in the mountainous areas of the Mediterranean region, where interactions between climate, vegetation and anthropic activities have been documented for millennia. This is the case of the Sierra de …
Multiproxy analysis for the paleobiogeographical reconstruction of the relict forests of the Serranía de Ronda during the Holocene (Baetic System, Spain)
The mountains of the southern Iberian Peninsula are important biodiversity hotspots. They are also home to several relict species that are threatened with extinction in the face of global change. One of the best examples is the Serranía de Ronda, a system of mountainous reliefs located at the western end of the Baetic Cordillera. Its tree cover includes, among other unusual taxa, endemic formations such as the Spanish fir ( Abies pinsapo) and Por…
Del paisaje en la geografía
En el presente artículo se realiza una síntesis descriptiva de las actividades desarrolladas por el Grupode Paisaje de la Asociación Española de Geografía. Se presta especial atención a las sesiones de campoy de debate organizadas con motivo de las Jornadas de Trabajo de Paisaje celebradas durante el periodotemporal 2017-2022. Previamente, se ofrece una reflexión sobre la presencia del paisaje no ya en lageografía, sino en todos los ámbitos de nu…
The history of Abies pinsapo during the Holocene in southern Spain, based on pedoanthracological analysis
The aim of this research is to reconstruct the ancient distribution area of Abies pinsapo Boiss. (Spanish fir) in the Serranía de Ronda region, southern Spain, during the Holocene. The main method was pedoanthracological analysis, the study of non-archaeological charcoal found in natural soils. In this research a total of 37 soil excavations were done in several mountain ranges with potentially favourable places for firs to have grown in the past…
The native status of Pinus pinaster on serpentine soils
The landscape taxonomic pyramid (LTP)
Recent decades have witnessed the burgeoning of diverse international treaties on landscape (European Landscape Convention = ELC, 2000; Latin American Landscape Initiative = LALI, 2013). Their influence leads to a growing need for landscape classification in all signatory countries. In Spain, the ELC has encouraged the incorporation of landscape to land planning. As a result, concepts and methods have been put forward integrating taxonomies and i…
Teaching landscape in Spanish universities
In order to determine the degree of implementation of the teaching of landscape in the new curriculum for Geography Degrees in Spain, some aspects are analysed: educational plans are analysed and verified, the presence therein of subjects directly devoted to landscape, as well as the inclusion of indirect or cross landscape issues in the subjects related to teaching guides. We propose ideas for the necessary updating of landscape teaching at the …
Mediterranean dune vegetation
This paper investigates the plant diversity and current state of the vegetation of a little-known threatened dune complex located in Estepona (southern Spain). This littoral fringe has in the past 60 years experienced a continuous process of intensive occupation derived primarily from tourism and agriculture, which has led to the degradation of the fragile and dynamic coastal systems. Its diminished size and lack of legal protection make it vulne…
Propuesta metodológica para la gestión de los paisajes de páramo en el marco de la Iniciativa Latinoamericana del Paisaje (Lali)
La presente investigación propone una metodología que permita la implementación de la Iniciativa Latinoamericana del Paisaje en los páramos de Colombia. La propuesta retomó y adaptó algunos aspectos de otras metodologías y para su calibración, se aplicó a tres páramos en el sur de Colombia: Galeras, Paja Blanca y Chiles (Departamento de Nariño). Dicha propuesta se articula en las siguientes etapas: (a) identificación de los paisajes; (b) análisis…
Geomorphology of the Sierra Gorda karst, South Spain
The limestone massif of Sierra Gorda is one of the most important karst areas in the Betic Cordillera (southern Spain). In this work, we present a geomorphological map of this area compiled using stereoscopic image analysis and field work. The map covers 300 km2, synthesizing karst landforms at a scale of 1:33,000. These landforms have been classified into seven minor and major types (karren, sinkholes and uvalas, poljes, canyons, planation surfa…
Fauna in wetland landscapes
Perception and observation of the faunal component of the landscape have not been sufficiently examined for wetlands in the past. In the present study, a methodological approach is followed based on a questionnaire that is used with different population groups involved in a wetland in southern Spain. Using this questionnaire, it is established that fauna, especially birds, is seen as a distinctive element of wetland landscapes. This study shows h…
Applying the technique of image classification to climate science
This paper proposes an empirical climate classification method based on the application of multivariate statistics. In this method, the technique of supervised and unsupervised image classification is used to classify the data and define climatic units.envisoftware is used to perform the image classification, specifically, the Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique algorithm. Supervised classification is also applied based on reference…
La sistematización del clima mediterráneo
Las clasifi caciones zonales -macroclimticas-son difcilmente aplicables en mbitos regionales, donde existe una particular interaccin de factores climticos de tipo geogrfi co y dinmico. Especialmente complejas resultan las heterogneas regiones sometidas al cambiante clima mediterrneo, que adolecen de una sistematizacin escalar adecuada. Atendiendo a esta necesidad se presenta, por primera vez, una propuesta de clasifi cacin interescalar basada en …
Landscape Fieldwork
Fieldwork reaches its full potential when one of its key objectives is the interpretation of the landscape. Field trips are part of a longstanding and effective tradition of contact with the natural environment, which has evolved from the nineteenth century to the present day, in accordance with the scientific, educational and awareness-raising requirements of advanced societies. In keeping with the fundamental principles of geographical science,…
