“…Determining whether or not small marginal populations of a species are native is complicated, especially in Mediterranean riparian forests, as they have been deeply transformed by humans over the last 4000 years (Hooke 2006, Valbuena-Carabaña et al 2010. Indeed, all elm species were initially considered to be introduced in the Iberian Peninsula due to the lack of evidence for their presence in the first fossil records (Huntley & Birks 1983).…”

“…Mediterranean forests are recognized as a hotspot of biodiversity at the global level, providing a multiplicity of services (FAO, 2013). However, these services are under risk of degradation, where forest fires are nowadays the most important threat to Mediterranean forest ecosystems (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, 1998;Valbuena-Carabaña et al, 2010) Large wildfires are relatively new in the recent history of the Mediterranean (Pausas et al, 2008), being responsible for a significant percentage of the annual burnt area (Moreira et al, 2011). Their severity and recurrence surpasses the capacity of these ecosystems to recover after the fire (Pausas et al, 2008).…”

Aim of study: This article describes and analyzes the links between the fire-based scientific knowledge, the social perception of fire prevention and forest fires and the economic valuation requirements to assess social preferences for fire prevention measures.Area of study: Southern European countries.Material and Methods: For that purpose, we develop a critical revision of the existing literature on economic valuation of social preferences for fire risk reduction and fire prevention in terms of its links with fire science and social perceptions and the applicability of these results in fire management policies.Research highlights: The assessment of social preferences for fire related issues is challenging due to the difficulty of setting sound valuation scenarios that can simultaneously be relevant for the respondents and derive conclusions useful for fire management. Most of the revised studies set up valuation scenarios focused on the final management outcome e.g. number of burnt hectares, what is easier for the respondents to evaluate but weakens the scientific relationship with fire management, making difficult reaching conclusions for sound management advice. A more recent set of valuation studies have been developed where risk perception of homeowners is further assessed as a key variable determining their preferences in valuation scenarios. These studies are relevant for mangers setting fire prevention programs in wildland urban interface areas as understanding the factors that may promote or hinder the enrolment of these homeowners in fire prevention activities may have direct implication in addressing communication programs to promote fire prevention management.Keywords: fire prevention; fire risk reduction; economic valuation.Abbreviations used: WTP- willingness to pay; CV- contingent valuation; CM- choice modelling.

“…Los usos económicos de los espacios de montaña, principalmente la agricultura y ganadería, han modelado el paisaje mediante el aprovechamiento de los recursos forestales, favoreciendo la expansión de espacios abiertos para la obtención de pastos (Carrión et al, 2001b(Carrión et al, , 2007Valladares et al, 2004;López-Sáez et al, 2009;Pausas y Keeley, 2009;Valbuena-Carabaña et al, 2010;Colombaroli et al, 2013). Estos hechos han repercutido en la heterogeneidad del mosaico paisajístico, provocando una mayor uniformidad, la pérdida de hábitats y cambios en las características ecológicas de los ecosistemas de alta montaña (Costa-Tenorio et al, 1990;Franco-Múgica, 2009).…”

ResumenEn este trabajo se presenta el análisis palinológico de la turbera de Pozo de la Nieve, localizada en el Parque Natural del Valle de Iruelas (Ávila), un área de alto valor sociocultural dentro de la Sierra de Gredos (Sistema Central). Con el objetivo de relacionar los cambios en el paisaje con la explotación de los recursos naturales y eventos climáticos, en primer lugar se han realizado 7 dataciones radiocarbónicas que sitúan el inicio del registro sedimentario ca. 240 cal BC. Los datos polínicos indican la existencia de un denso pinar altimontano dominado por pinus sylvestris/nigra desde la Segunda Edad de Hierro hasta el periodo islámico. A partir del periodo cristiano las actividades antrópicas se intensifican, especialmente la ganadería en la Edad Contemporánea, lo cual conlleva la progresiva desaparición del pinar de alta montaña y el desarrollo de pastizales mediante el manejo del fuego, situación que culmina con el desarrollo del paisaje actual dominado por piornales pirófilos.Palabas clave: Paleoambiente; Impacto antrópico; Historia de la vegetación; Holoceno reciente; Península ibérica. AbstractWe present the palynological study of Pozo de la Nieve peat bog, located in a very valuable socio-cultural placement within the Iruelas Valley Natural Park (Gredos range, Iberian Central System). We have focused in relating landscape changes to natural resources management and climatic events. Firstly, we carried out
