Services Evolution of Two Groundwater Dependent Wetland Ecosystems in the “Mancha Húmeda” Biosphere Reserve (Spain)

A wetland that does not comply with the ecological standards of EU Directive 2000/60/EC cannot properly provide its services. This paper presents a review of the criteria for wetland assessment based on the Spanish experience in two specific Ramsar areas: the Tablas de Daimiel and the Ruidera Lakes. The aim of this article is to consider and promote a holistic awareness of the hydrological cycle and of the wetland area ecosystems within it. The methodology developed under the umbrella of the UNESCO project IGCP 604 is applied to describe the groundwater-wetland-human interrelationship. This methodology was chosen for two reasons: (a) it is designed to assess the services the wetlands provide; (b) it focuses on groundwater dependent wetlands such as the two cases presented here. In each case, although to a different extent, agricultural activities and water management have led to important changes in the services provided by the two ecosystems.

30 años de la Autonomía de Castilla-La Mancha: ¿ordenación territorial o pentaprovincia?

Tras 30 años del Estado de las Autonomías nos parece oportuno estudiar el origen y desarrollo de Castilla-La Mancha, uno de los territorios pluriprovinciales con mayores problemas de ordenación integral, haciendo una breve referencia al pasado, a Castilla la Nueva. De la actual Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha nos ha interesado analizar el desarrollo territorial en sus distintas escalas, así como la política de ordenación territorial del conjunto regional, señalando la aportación llevada a cabo desde la Geografía.
