Long-term vegetation changes on the stabilized dunes of Do�ana National Park (SW Spain)

Abstract: Changes in the vegetation of stabilized sand dunes of Dofiana National Park in the last four centuries have been analysed, combining ecological and historical sources of information.Quantitative vegetation data have been obtained from 5 inventories of a 15 km long transect, consisting of 34 points where nearby woody plants have been recorded. Inventories were taken in 1636, 1647, 1652, 1682 and 1859. The analysis of these data, combined with climatic and management information on the area, reveals that until 1… Show more

“…(Minckley et al ., ). The coastal ecosystems at PRC during the previous and current interglacial may have been similar to those of modern‐day Doñana National Park in southwestern Spain, which is composed of a series of transgressive coastal dunes, back‐barrier lagoons, and peat bogs dominated by heath vegetation, scrubland, and pine and cork oak forests (Corona et al ., ; Muñoz‐Reinoso, ; Sousa et al ., ). In particular, the Doñana peat bogs known as ‘Rivatehilos' are characterized by the presence of Erica ciliaris wet heathland and other vegetation, including various Sphagnum mosses, which are more typically found in the north‐western Iberian margin (Sousa et al ., ).…”

“…In the low-lying areas of Doñana, the former woodland type was composed of Q. suber. Lumbering, prescribed fires and overgrazing destroyed most of these woodlands which formerly dominated the Park vegetation (Granados et al 1988), and reduced them to small remnant thickets. Forest degradation has also resulted in destruction of the rich organic original soil and in impoverishment of the sandy soils (García Novo 1997).…”

“…The density of reproductive individuals is greater in the Matasgordas population than in the Reserva (3.096 ± 0.396 and 0.089 ± 0.054 individuals/ha; Garrote et al, 2018). Populations of P. bourgaeana and other tree species (e.g., Quercus suber, Fraxinus angustifolia) have been decimated in the Doñana area due to a long history of human-related disturbances (e.g., land-use changes, timber exploitation, fires; Granados, Martín, & García Novo, 1988). Given that P. bourgaeana is endangered in the Doñana area and plays a critical role providing key food resources to diverse animal guilds (Arenas-Castro, 2012;Garrote et al, 2018;Zywiec, Delibes, & Fedriani, 2012), the recovery of the species is an important conservation target .…”
