Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles

NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)

Other Site Characteristics

El espacio recoge un sector del tramo alto del río Guadalaviar, desde el núcleo de Villar del Cobo hasta Tramacastilla. Es un río de régimen básicamente pluvial con un marcado carácter mediterráneo, caracterizado por tener máximos de caudal equinocciales y fuertes estiajes durante el verano, aliviados por las frecuentes precipitaciones convectivas en las sierras. En este tramo el río discurre ortogonal a las estructuras de plegamiento cretácicas, por lo que ha excavado un profundo cañón fluviokásrtico con paredes de varios cientos de metros, abiertos fundamentalmente en los materiales calizos de la Sierra. Los sistemas de terrazas están muy localizados y circunscritos a los ligeros ensanchamientos existentes. Es en estos depósitos y en los sedimentos actuales sobre los que se desarrolla una estrecha banda de vegetación riparia fundamentalmente compuesta por Populus nigra y Salix alba. En zonas próximas se desarrollan sabinares y bosques de quercineas de gran interés, junto a algunos pinares. La calidad de las aguas contribuye a la riqueza piscícola. En las paredes calcáreas del cañón anida una abundante y variada avifauna rupícola.

4.2 Quality and importance

Espacio de gran interés paisajístico que alberga un cañón fluviokárstico con paredes verticales de varios cientos de metros. La vegetación riparia y las comunidades rupícolas son las formaciones vegetales más destacadas.
