Abstract

Resumen-El estudio de las turberas del centro peninsular y, específicamente, las ubicadas alrededor de Puebla de D. Rodrigo (Montes de Toledo, Ciudad Real) han demostrado cómo una serie de alteraciones antrópicas en el entorno natural (cambios en la dinámica de las pendientes, la aparición de zonas anegadas en los fondos de valle debido a la llegada hasta ellos de sedimentos coluviales...) han sido conjuntamente co- responsables del desarrollo de numerosas formaciones de turba en esta región montañosa. Pero también, estas mismas acciones, junto con los trabajos de drenaje, han contribuido de manera muy efectiva a la desaparición de algunas turberas en las últimas décadas. Estos procesos se verifican mediante un estudio diacrónico de datos cartográficos de los siglos XIX y mediados del XX. Por lo tanto, los mapas y fotografías aéreas muestran el progresivo avance de la deforestación y la agricultura hacia los bordes de las zonas de acumulación de turba. Este trabajo tiene un doble objetivo: por un lado, proporcionar evidencias cartográficas de cómo se han creado espacios de gran valor ambiental con la concurrencia de actividades humanas; y por otro, llamar la atención sobre la necesidad de controlar los impactos que amenazan la desaparición de uno de los conjuntos de turba más meridionales de la Península Ibérica.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-22:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 1.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 1 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://repositorio.uam.es/handle/10486/704945
Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 15 - Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss, with a probability of 65% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
