    Patrimonio natural y geomorfología. Los Lugares de Interés Geomorfológico del Parque Natural del Cañón del Río Lobos
    (Universidad de Valladolid, 2021-02-15) Serrano Cañadas, Enrique; González Amuchastegui, María José; Ruiz Pedrosa, Rosa María; Junta de Castilla Y León (España)
    El relieve y los elementos geomorfológicos constituyen un patrimonio de elevado valor para entender, disfrutar y gestionar el territorio. Esto es especialmente relevante en los Espacios Naturales Protegidos, y en particular en aquellos cuya esencia para su disfrute y protección se encuentra en el relieve, pieza básica de su geodiversidad, el paisaje y los ecosistemas. Es el caso del Parque Natural del Cañón del Río Lobos, donde los elementos geomorfológicos -el cañón que le da nombre, las paredes, el modelado kárstico o las sierras entre otros-, la geología y la hidrología son parte esencial de su razón de ser. Estos elementos son admirados, pero escasamente comprendidos por los visitantes, los gestores y a menudo por los residentes. En esta obra se exponen, de modo sintético, los caracteres constitutivos del relieve y el modelado y se plantea su uso potencial por el visitante, desde diferentes perspectivas: cultural, educativa, turística y excursionista. El libro es un apoyo para la gestión, el uso adecuado y el disfrute de un parque natural de singular valor, extraordinaria belleza, elevado interés para los usuarios, y muy significativo en el contexto de la red de espacios naturales de Castilla y León.

    Cultural Heritage, Landforms, and Integrated Territorial Heritage: the Close Relationship Between Tufas, Cultural Remains, and Landscape in the Upper Ebro Basin (Cantabrian Mountains, Spain)
    (Springer, 2020-10-08) Serrano Cañadas, Enrique; González Amuchastegui, María José; Gobierno de Castilla Y León (España)
    The heritage cannot be appreciated nor entirely understood without considering the genesis and evolution of natural elements. Four places located in the north of Spain are analyzed. They are featured by the importance of natural environment, as Pleistocene and Holocene tufa buildups, and the important cultural goods, vernacules, or belonging to Prehistoric, Middle Age, and Modern ages. The inventory and assessing of geomorphosites have been made, and their scientific, cultural, and use and management values have been analyzed. The protection laws and territorial planning were also analyzed to complete the study of cultural heritage. Finally, a scalar assessment, from facies to landscape and past and current uses, has been made. Tufas explain traditional land uses and landscapes from the Holocene to the present. They are complex units with functions as defence, hydraulic power, and agriculture, and they are divided in specialized internal areas depending on their natural and socio-economical features. Three cases of natural-cultural relationships can be identified: as hydraulic and agricultural resources (farmland, proto-industrial goods, or well organized plots), as defensive emplacements, and urban development conditioned by the use of the tufa for communications, strategic emplacements, hydraulic resources—watermills and proto-industrial fulling mills. All of them make up an integrated cultural ensemble, a heritage of high territorial and landscape value. The geomorphological elements are not just a context, they are part of the cultural monument, an essential and dynamic component. So, potentialities and limitations of use must be taken into account by territorial managers in the planning and interpretation of integrated geotouristic products. In all studied cases, we have detected that natural components are ignored in tourist, cultural, and territorial management.

    Geomorphosites and geomorphological maps applied to public use, tourism and natural heritage management in the Rio Lobos Natural Park (Spain)
    (Elsevier, 2024-12-12) Serrano Cañadas, Enrique; González Amuchastegui, María José; Ruiz Pedrosa, Rosa María; Junta de Castilla Y León (España); Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España); Ministerio de Economía, Comercio y Empresa (España)
    Managing geotourism in natural protected areas is challenging, especially in rural areas facing depopulation and economic decline, as well as overcrowding in specific locations. Geotourism assessments of geomorphosites, previously inventoried and evaluated, is crucial for understanding potential public use and has been implemented worldwide. In this work conducted in Río Lobos Natural Park in Castilla y León, Spain, a geotourism assessment of geomorphosites was applied, and a geomorphological map was created to identify areas with geomorphological and landscape values while addressing overcrowding. The objective was to identify and evaluate geomorphosites using the geomorphological map as a tool for spatial management of Natural Protected Areas (NPAs) in crowded areas, integrating geomorphosites with tourism potential into the park's attractions. The geomorphological map facilitated the analysis of the territory, selection of key geomorphosites and areas of interest, and assessment of their tourism potential. Information from geomorphology and geomorphosites was used to develop a map highlighting areas with significant geomorphological and landscape values, useful for park managers and visitors.

    Geodiversity and geomorphosites assessment applied to a Natural Protected Area: The Ebro and Rudron Canyons Natural Park (Spain)
    (Springer, 2010-10-24) Pellitero Ondicol, Ramón; González Amuchastegui, María José; Ruiz Flaño, Purificación; Serrano, Enrique
    Geodiversity and geomorphosites in a natural protected area in Spain are evaluated. The estimation of geodiversity has been calculated by habitat and by geomorphological unit based on the calculation method developed by Serrano and Ruiz-Flaño, and geomorphosites have been assessed for the same area. Finally, results from the calculation of geodiversity and geomorphosites are compared. The aim is to introduce a series of tools that the manager can apply to integrate abiotic aspects in the evaluation and protection of areas with outstanding natural diversity and considerable natural heritage.
