Abstract


Forest landscape transformations in Sierra Pobre of Madrid: Influence of agriculture and livestock in local extintion of pine forest. This paper describes the main changes in forest landscape of Sierra Pobre of Madrid after Reconquista. Forest tree species has a different destiny because of both ecological and historical reasons. In this respect the pine formations disappear in almost all study area, whereas many oak forests remained although reduced and altered. Finally the risk of ignoring history in forest interpretation is pointed out. For this reason some local extinct species can not be included in plant succession models, while others can be more valorated because they have been the less influenced by man activity.
