Abstract
El Valle del Genal, situado en el extremo occidental de la provincia de Málaga, en la Serranía de Ronda, es un corredor ecológico que conecta distintos espacios naturales protegidos (destacan los Parques Naturales de Sierra de las Nieves, Grazalema y Los Alcornocales) y donde confluyen tres sectores fitogeográficos: Aljíbico, Rondeño y Bermejense. La consecuencia de ello es una gran diversidad florística con táxones bastante singulares, algunos de ellos protegidos como Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Ilex aquifolium, Laurus nobilis, Quercus pyrenaica, Quercus canariensis o Rupicapnos africana decipiens. Otros taxones tienen importancia corológica como Hypericum androsaemum, Davallia canariensis, Cystopteris viridula o Dryopteris affinis subsp. Affinis. Endemismos de la Serranía de Ronda son Abies pinsapo, Arenaria capillipes, Armeria colorata, Centaurea lainzii, Galium viridiflorum, Iberis fontqueri, Ornithogalum reverchonii, Saxifraga gemmulosa o Silene Fernandezii, todos ellos incluidos en listados de protección de flora. Otros endemismos (no protegidos) son . La diversidad y originalidad de este enclave no se han visto significativamente afectadas por el uso humano, que ha contribuido al aumento de su diversidad mediante un uso tradicional del territorio, generando un excepcional paisaje en mosaico. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, diversos proyectos hidráulicos y urbanísticos que atentan contra la conservación del medio ambiente hacen necesario su protección, ya sea con la figura de ZEC (Directiva 92/43CEE) o con la de Parque Natural.
The valley of the Genal river is located in the western portion of Málaga province (Spain). The valley is a natural corridor that connects several natural protected areas (Natural Parks of Sierra de las Nieves, Grazalema and Los Alcornocales). As three phytogeographical units (Aljíbico -siliceous sandstones-, Rondeño -limestone and dolomites- and Bermejense -peridotite-) meet here, a great plant diversity is found, showing a group of endangered taxa such as Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Ilex aquifolium, Laurus nobilis, Quercus pyrenaica, Quercus canariensis or Rupicapnos africana decipiens. Other taxa has chorological value such as Hypericum androsaemum, Davallia canariensis, Cystopteris viridula or Dryopteris affinis subsp. affinis. Endemic from Ronda Mountain Ranges, in the valley grow Abies pinsapo, Arenaria capillipes, Armeria colorata, Centaurea lainzii, Galium viridiflorum, Iberis fontqueri, Ornithogalum reverchonii, Saxifraga gemmulosa or Silene fernandezii, all of them protected or included in plant endangeredred-lists. Other endemisms (not protected) are Arenaria retusa, Brachypodium gaditanum, Helictotrichon filifolium arundanum, Linaria platycalix, Saxifraga bourgaeana, Silene inaperta serpentinicola and Staehelina baetica. Ancient human development has contributed to the increase of the diversity in the valley, due to the traditional land use and management that has contributed to a exceptional mosaic landscape. Nowadays, several aggressive projects (hydraulic and real-state) threat the valley, so protection is needed as Natural Park or Special Conservation Zone in the Natura 2000 European Net (Directive 92/43 CEE).
