Other Site Characteristics

Sierra ubicada en el límite oriental de la Comarca de los Montes de Toledo de Ciudad Real, en su transición a la Comarca del Campo de Calatrava. Conjunto de serratas cuarcíticas de la Era primaria, muy quebradas y dislocadas, articuladas en pequeños cordales, con orientación noreste-suroeste. Como recursos geomorfológicos singualres, definidroes de paisaje, destacan las crestas talladas en cuarcitas masivas, de gran dureza, y los derrubios o coluviones del Cuaternario, en las laderas de la sierra, que originan las pedrizas.

4.2 Quality and importance

Las formaciones de matorral de quercíneas en las laderas y las manchas de vegetación espesa de jarales y brezales dan paso a zonas de cultivos y dehesas en las áreas más llanas o piedemonte. La ZEC Sierra de Picón, se define por ser un área poco poblada y por presentar una vegetación característica de monte mediterráneo, la cual se encuentra representada en forma de mosaico alternando con zonas de cultivo, esto hace que este hábitat sea el ambiente potencial propicio para especies como el Lince ibérico (Lynx pardinus). En el pasado sustentó una población reproductora de Lince ibérico, actualmente aunque no se ha constatado su presencia contiene algunos de los requisitos indispensables para el asentamiento de la especie. Una de las principales características que destaca de este espacio, es que sirve junto con otro espacio de la Red Natura 2000, ZEC Ríos de la Cuenca media del Guadiana y laderas vertientes, como corredor biológico de la fauna entre las poblaciones de los Montes de Toledo y Sierra Morena. También, es de destacar desde el punto de vista geomorfológico la presencia en su interior de un conjunto de elementos volcánicos entre los que se sobresalen los cráteres de explosión que albergan las lagunas de Lucianego o La Laguna, en Piedrabuena, y La Camacha entre Picón y Alcolea de Calatrava.
