“…These data seem to suggest that the increase of human-mediated fires and livestock grazing was connected to the decline of Scots pine in high-elevation sites [9,20]. The lower percentage of Scots pine pollen in the Puerto del Pico record is explained because this area has been the main passage for transhumant cattle since the Middle Age, making it an open woodland with scattered stands [35].…”

“…The beginning of the Late Modern Period (1800 to the present) in the Sierra de Gredos mountains coincides with prominent socioeconomic and political changes such as the dissolution of the "La Mesta" system, one of the main transhumance livestock associations in European history [39]. The termination of "La Mesta" in the 19th century far from lightening the livestock pressure on mountain areas as the Sierra de Gredos, triggered the intensive use of pastures for sheep and cattle for local farmers [20,35]. This manifested as a further local expansion of high-mountain shrublands (e.g., Genisteae) and grasslands with the increase of proxies of pastoral pressure such as coprophilous fungi and minimum percentages of Scots pine pollen [18].…”

“…En la secuencia SE, ubicada junto al puerto de Serranillos −no lejos del anterior y paso de montaña secundario de la Mesta−, el último tercio del siglo XIII no supuso cambio alguno en los bosques oromediterráneos de Pinus sylvestris, que mantienen el buen estado de conservación de fechas previas y cuyo porcentaje de hongos coprófilos es muy bajo (Figura 2), indicando escaso o nulo trasiego de ganado (López-Merino et al, 2009). En el piso supramediterráneo, la secuencia FL (Figura 2), como la anterior, muestra la resiliencia de los pinares altimontanos, aunque la creación de la Mesta supuso, a nivel paisajístico, un mayor desarrollo de los robledales de Quercus pyrenaica -que alcanzan casi el 20% a finales del siglo XIII−, ya que su mayor capacidad de rebrote les permite tener ventaja adaptativa frente a los pinares (Robles- López-Sáez et al, 2018a). El registro FL está situado en un cordel cercano a la principal vía trashumante que durante la vigencia de la Mesta atravesó la sierra de Gredos: la del puerto del Pico (López-Sáez et al, 2009, 2018b.…”

“…La creación de la Mesta y el énfasis económico en la gestión ganadera para la exportación internacional de lana merina vino acompañada a finales del siglo XIII de cultivos intensivos destinados al mercado urbano, cuyos correlatos paisajísticos también son rastreables en el valle del Tiétar (Blanco- González et al, 2015;López-Sáez et al, 2018a, 2018b. En concreto, en el piso supramediterráneo se constatan prácticas de arboricultura.…”
