La gestión ecológico-cultural en el paisaje de montaña

Abstract

The author, after a brief revision of his ideas on the plant communities dynamism —connected with behavioural gregarism and cultural evolution in the N Spain mountains—, explain two furthest types of gestion: 1) The external or distant one, producing a banalization or ruderalization of landscapes, and 2) The internally active type in every system, always improving adaptation of communities to the environment (geophysical, biotic and also social) of their own valley or country. On cultural aspects —mainly in some mountains—, models will be necessary to understanding the different "homeostatic mechanisms" in every cultural action, the automatic ones. Ecological research must be made together with pasturage activities, artisanats, and mainly an integrated tourism embodied in the country. Biological and cultural diversifications would be also maintained in the more human and alive mountains. We also need to combine our regional activities with the more general project SBI (Sustainable Biosphere Initiative) of the Ecological Society of America.
