  • The Role of Cultural Landscapes in the Delivery of Provisioning Ecosystem Services in Protected Areas
    sustainability Article The Role of Cultural Landscapes in the Delivery of Provisioning Ecosystem Services in Protected Areas Ana D. Maldonado 1,† , Darío Ramos-López 2,† and Pedro A. Aguilera 1,*,† 1 Department of Biology and Geology, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain; [email protected] 2 Department of Applied Mathematics, Rey Juan Carlos University, 28933 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-950-015933 † These authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 27 March 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 26 April 2019 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to assess and highlight the significance of cultural landscapes in protected areas, considering both biodiversity and the delivery of provisioning ecosystem services. In order to do that, we analyzed 26 protected areas in Andalusia (Spain), all of them Natural or National Parks, regarding some of their ecosystem services (agriculture, livestock grazing, microclimate regulation, environmental education and tourism) and diversity of the four terrestrial vertebrate classes: amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds. A cluster analysis was also run in order to group the 26 protected areas according to their dominant landscape. The results show that protected areas dominated by dehesa (a heterogeneous system containing different states of ecological maturity), or having strong presence of olive groves, present a larger area of delivery of provisioning ecosystem services, on average. These cultural landscapes play an essential role not only for biodiversity conservation but also as providers of provisioning ecosystem services. Keywords: biodiversity; Natural Parks; cultural ecosystem services; regulating ecosystem services; drivers of change 1. Introduction Biodiversity conservation has been the cornerstone of conservation strategies in protected areas (PAs).

  • Sierra Norte De Sevilla Greenway (Sevilla)
    Sierra Norte de Sevilla Greenway Mining deposits do not always mean desolate landscapes. Sometimes mining takes place in areas of outstanding natural beauty. This is the case of the Cerro del Hierro mining area, in the heart of the Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park. Access to this area is now provided by the old railway line, recently developed by the Department of the Environment of the Regional Government of Andalusia. It follows a route through a surprisingly green landscape, given that we are in the province of Sevilla. TECHNICAL DATA CONDITIONED GREENWAY The most evocative journey in the northern ranges of Seville. LOCATION Between the Cazalla- Constantina station and the “Cerro del Hierro” SEVILLA Length: 15 Km of Greenway + 4 Km of connection between the railway station and the Greenway Users: Type of surface: Mixed: asphalt with “slurry” treatment Natural landscape: Natural Park os the Sierra Norte de Sevilla.

    Aznalcóllar Sevilla Superficie: 199 km2 Población: 5.841 hab. Núcleos de población: 1 (Aznalcóllar) Participa Aznalcóllar de varias unidades biogeo- gráficas gracias a su privilegiada situación entre las primeras estribaciones de Sierra Morena y el Alja- rafe. Junto con las también poblaciones sevillanas de El Castillo de las Guardas y El Madroño, entre otras, forma parte de la comarca de Corredor de la Plata, cuya historia milenaria nos transporta al pasado. Historia La Historia de Aznalcóllar se nutre de todas las culturas mediterráneas. El po- blamiento calcolítico, datado en el 2.100 a.C., ilustra acerca de la antigüedad de su poblamiento.

Antiguas minas de hierro de aspecto lunar y cascadas que moldean rocas milenarias, éstos son algunos de los encantos que ofrece el Parque Natural Sierra Norte de Sevilla. Hace millones de años toda esta serranía se encontraba bajo un extenso mar al que desembocaban los ríos de la Meseta Ibérica. Tras la retirada de las aguas, las tierras emergidas se poblaron de productivos bosques de encinas y alcornoques. Arrieros, pastores y labradores no fueron los únicos que transformaron este primitivo monte en el lugar que hoy conocemos. En el Cerro del Hierro la extracción de minerales formó un paisaje recortado por afiladas rocas que destacan sobre las verdes dehesas que dominan este espacio. Una recomendación: conozca las tradicionales Cruces de Mayo de los pueblos de la sierra y deguste sus chacinas y setas.

  • Sierra Norte De Sevilla
    RUTA ORNITOLÓGICA 7SIERRA NORTE DE SEVILLA INTRODUCCIÓN La Sierra Norte de Sevilla junto con la Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche, al oeste, forman la vertiente occidental de la Sierra Morena que continúa hacia el este a través de la Sierra de Hornachuelos. El Parque Natural Sierra Norte de Sevilla cubre una superficie de 177.484 hectáreas y abarca 10 términos municipales. Fue declarado Zona de Especial Protección para Aves (ZEPA) en el año 1989. Su orografía se caracteriza por un amplio conjunto de sierras de escasa altitud, de pendientes relativamente suaves y con formas onduladas debido a la avanzada edad geológica de sus formaciones. Las sierras son interrumpidas por ríos y arroyos. El bosque y matorral mediterráneo y la dehesa encuentran en la Sierra Norte de Sevilla uno de sus máximos exponentes. Da cobijo a una muestra de fauna extraordinaria, destacando la relativa abundancia de mamíferos como la gineta, el gato montés, el tejón, la nutria, así como especies de caza mayor como el jabalí, el ciervo, el gamo y el muflón. En ocasiones, el lobo hace incursiones en este territorio y, hasta hace poco, también estaba presente el lince ibérico. Para los aficionados a la observación de aves, la Sierra Norte de Sevilla es de sumo interés, ya que cobija nutridas poblaciones de las especies ibéricas más emblemáticas. La ruta ornitológica se limita a la vertiente occidental del Parque Natural partiendo desde la misma Ruta Vía de la Plata, en Almadén de la Plata, donde se propone visitar el centro de visitantes Cortijo El Berrocal, y termina en el entorno del Embalse de El Pintado.

  • Sierra Norte De Sevilla; Pero No Hemos De Entender Que Ello Haya Redundado En Una Falta De Interés Por La Apropiación De Este Espacio
    LA SIERRA MORENA DE SEVILLA: UNA ENCRUCIJADA DE NATURALEZA Y CULTURA Ana Ávila Álvarez Víctor Fernández Salinas Rocío Silva Pérez I. INVITACIÓN A LA EXCURSIÓN El objetivo de esta visita es el acercamiento a la caracterización territorial y socioeconómica de Sierra Morena de Sevilla, una comarca situada en el sector centro occidental del sistema mariánico cuya dinámica reciente resulta ilustrativa de lo acontecido en otras áreas serranas andaluzas y, por ende, en otras montañas medias mediterráneas de la Unión Europea. Unos espacios que en un período de tiempo relativamente corto, y sin dejar de ser territorios con escasa capacidad para convertir en productos sus recursos, han pasado a ocupar un lugar privilegiado desde donde responder a las nuevas lógicas y demandas ciudadanas de conservación de la naturaleza, ocio y esparcimiento, productos de calidad, recursos patrimoniales… Desde el punto de vista geológico, los materiales de esta zona pertenecen al sector de Osa Morena, subdominio geológico del Macizo Herciniano del escudo ibérico, en el que predomina la dirección de pliegues Noroeste-Sureste, muy alterados y fragmentados por su antigüedad y por los procesos erosivos y orogénicos responsables de los procesos de envejecimiento y rejuvenecimiento que han afectado este espacio. Las formas montañosas son antiguas, muy modeladas, suaves. En ellas predominan las colinas y formas alomadas constitudas por materiales metamórficos (esquistos, cuarcitas, calizas...) y granitos. Uno de los procesos que aparecen en este sector son los relacionados con las formas kársticas, resultado de la disolución de rocas carbonatadas por 54 acción de las aguas de lluvia principalmente (ver más adelante Cerro del Hierro).
