Fecha de publicación: | may-2001 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Catena 43 (4): 323-340 (2001) | Resumen: | This paper discusses the results of a lichenometrical and geomorphological study of one of the few remaining active snow hollows in the central region of the Iberian Peninsula. The study area, located on a glacial shoulder, is called Hoya del Cuchillar de las Navajas. A protalus rampart occurs at the base of the hollow. Our studies, conducted between 1992 and 1998, were designed to determine the geomorphological characteristics of Hoya, the mobility of the deposits, and the characteristics of the snow cover. These data formed the basis for a study of the lichen colonization on the blocks and on the wall surrounding the snow hollow. All of the lichen species found were analyzed according to their abundance, distribution and the extent of their surface cover. Measurements of the diameter of the thalli of the species Rhizocarpon geographicum were also obtained. Thalli of this species were found to require a mean snow-free growing season of at least 95 days 13.5 weeks per year. Maximum mean thallus diameters indicate that the protalus rampart was formed during the Little Ice Age and became inactive 130 years ago. | Descripción: | 18 páginas, 12 figuras y 1 tabla | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0341-8162(00)00131-4 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/134022 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0341-8162(00)00131-4 | ISSN: | 0341-8162 |
