โฆ Synopsis
The dynamics of oligotrophic pastures were analyzed in the area of El Pardo (Central Spain), and related with geomorphological features and time elapsed since the last ploughing. A sampling of the area was carried out regarding these two factors. The data were subjected to correspondence analysis, which showed the progressive replacement of species related to succession, variation along slopes, with a tight interaction between both phenomena.
The correspondence between vegetation change and slope geomorphology is closer as succession progresses.

The aim of this paper is to describe the changes of Mediterranean pasture phytomass and their dependence on succession, slope geomorphology and herbivore consumption. Four neighbouring slopes of similar aspect and steepness, located in a pasture area of Central Spain, were chosen for sampling. The s
Morphological characteristics related to spatial occupation, reproduction and adaptations to grazing were used to characterize the most frequent species in a therophytic pastureland of Central Spain. Periodic ploughing is a traditional practice in these pastures and allows observation of succession
