La evolución del paisaje fluvial en la confluencia de los ríos Tajo y Jarama

A comprehensive analysis of the fluvial landscape evolution at the confluence of the Tagus and Jarama rivers, near Aranjuez, reveals intricate interdependencies between natural (hydrological, geomorphological, ecological) and cultural factors (water management, land ownership, interventions). The study identifies novel relationships—such as those between fluvial dynamics, land tenure, and conservation status—that have not been previously quantified. Using statistical analysis of multi-temporal aerial imagery and historical maps, the research demonstrates how this complex system has evolved, with deep cultural imprints overlying a persistent natural substrate. This holistic approach offers actionable insights for managing Aranjuez’s landscape as part of Natura 2000, ensuring ecological, patrimonial, and economic sustainability while expanding beyond UNESCO’s current designated boundaries.
