Geomorphoedaphic Itinerary of Arribes Del Duero (Spain)

Abstract

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the Geological Heritage, its evaluation, protection and promotion. The Geomorphological Heritage also interests the scientific community, especially those sectors of great scientific relevance that are characterized by its reliefs. For its part, the soil study provides information about the genesis of the soils and places them as a non-renewable natural resource and highlights the importance of its conservation for future generations. The methodology followed consisted in the valuation of the geological heritage, identifying different places and taking into account the geomorphological and pedological interests, presenting the latter, an innovative character. In this way, a “Geomorphoedaphic” itinerary of the Arribes del Duero Natural Park has been made. This is one of the first steps to its inclusion as a Geopark.
