Bioclimatic Stages/Pisos bioclimáticos

The Gredos’ Mountains have a wide variety of vegetation.

If we take into account temperature and

precipitation, we can find four different bioclimatic

levels:

La Sierra de Gredos presenta una gran variedad de

vegetación.

Se distribuye en cuatro pisos bioclimáticos, según la

temperatura y la precipitación, encontrando:

Prairies of the high mountain: are composed of a series of

meadows used by livestock and wildlife in summer, because

their ground is covered by snow the rest of the year.

Prados de alta montaña: se compone por una serie de

prados que siempre prefieren lugares fríos y secos.

Son utilizados por la ganadería en verano, ya que su suelo el

resto del año está cubierto por nieve.

Piornal (broom communities): the

plants of this bioclimatic stage are mostly

smaller except the dominant broom. They adhere to the soil and

grow slower.

Piornal: abundan los piornos serranos.

Las plantas de este piso bioclimático son en su mayoría más pequeñas, que se

adhieren al suelo y crecen más despacio.

Forests: the southern slope is rich in Maritime Pine forests with some Black Pines between them in the

higher areas.

Bosques:en la vertiente sur de la Sierra abundan los pinares de Pino Negral, o Resinero, con algunos pinos

Cascalvos entre ellos en las zonas más altas.

In wetter areas there are Oak Woodlands and Sweet

Chestnuts (mostly cultivated).

En las zonas más húmedas se encuentran

bosques de robles y castaños (en su mayoría

cultivados).

On the northern slope are the pine forests of Scots Pine and some Oak Woodlands. En la vertiente norte encontramos los pinares de pino silvestre y algunos robledales.

In addition there are some unique species

such as Yew, Holly and Birch.

Además hay algunas especies singulares como tejos, acebos y abedules.

Holm Oak woodland: in the lower parts. Besides the Holm Oak, the Cork Oak

also appears.

Encinar: en las partes más bajas. Además de la encina, también aparecen

el alcornoque.

The “dehesa” ecosystem is mantained artificially by man. It is made up of Holm Oaks, and Cork Oaks that form the tree component, while other areas of herbaceous species

(natural or planted by humans), feed large numbers

of wild animals and cattle.

La dehesa es un ecosistema mantenido artificialmente por el

hombre.

Formado por encinas, o alcornoques que constituyen la flora arbórea, y

otras zonas de especies herbáceas bien naturales, o bien sembradas por

el hombre, que alimentan a gran cantidad de animales tanto salvajes

como domésticos.

Furthermore, along watercourses, there is a bank vegetation, represented primarily by Alders and

Willows.

Además, a lo largo de los cursos de agua, se encuentra la vegetación de ribera, representada fundamentalmente por alisos

y sauces.

Page 12: Gredos flora. Bioclimatic Stages/Pisos bioclimáticos The Gredos Mountains have a wide variety of vegetation. If we take into account temperature and precipitation,

The endemic species of Gredos are located in the upper zones. The most well known are: “Gredos

Camommile”, “Almanzor’s Consuelda” and the “Mouth of the Dragon”. The Yellow Broom is also endemic.

Las especies endémicas están localizados en las zonas más altas. Los más comunes son La boca de

Dragón, la Consuelda del Almanzor y la Manzanilla de Gredos. El Piorno Serrano tambien es endémico.
