Other Site Characteristics

Los Alcornocales se encuadra en las cordilleras Béticas. Geológicamente queda caracterizado por las Unidades del Campo de Gibraltar, las cuales constituyen la mayor parte de este espacio natural. Destaca entre ellas la Unidad del Aljibe (más del 90% de la superficie).

4.2 Quality and importance

Presenta gran riqueza botánica, no sólo por la extansión y exhuberancia de las formaciones boscosas (alcornocales, quejigares, encinares...) sino por su catálogo florístico del que una notable proporción resultan taxones raros o endémicos. Existen elementos relictos de laurisilva terciaria en los denominados "canutos" que conviven junto a otras especies de origen eurosiberiano. Existen hábitats dunares y arenales costeros de un alto valor ecológico, que desempeñas una importante función mejorando la conectividad ecológica entre las formaciones arboladas (alcornocales, quejigales, acebuchales y dehesas) con los ecosistemas litorales. En la sección 3.2 se ha mencionado el motivo D con respecto a las siguientes especies: Allium pruinatum, Avena murphyi, Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Isoetes durieui, Odontites foliosus, Unio gibbus, Allium pruinatum, Avena murphyi, Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Isoetes durieui, Isoetes durieui, Odontites foliosus presentes en Catálogo Andaluz de Especies Amenazadas. Decreto 23/2012 - Vulnerable. Columba palumbus presente en la Directiva 2009/147/CE Relativa a la conservación de las aves silvestres - Anexo II-A. Garrulus glandarius, Passer domesticus, Alnus glutinosa, Malpolon monspessulanus, Pinus pinaster presentes en la UICN 2011. Lista Roja de las especies amenazadas de la UICN. Versión 2011.2 - Preocupación Menor. Pinus pinea presente en UICN 2011. Lista Roja de las especies amenazadas de la UICN. Versión 2011.2 - Riesgo menor. Preocupación menor. Quercus canariensis presente en Lista Roja de la Flora Vascular de Andalucía. UICN 2004 - Casi amenazada. Rhododendron ponticum ssp. baeticum presente en Libro Rojo de la Flora Silvestre Amenazada de Andalucía. CMA 2000 - En Peligro de Extinción.
