Background and aims: Recognizing the relationship among the composition, structure and functionality of an ecosystem leads us to deduce that the services derived from them are vulnerable to changes in land use. Owing to that, the sustainable development of populations cannot only be achieved with the management of economic and social capitals but must be integrated with an adequate management of natural capital. In the mountain ranges of the south of Córdoba (Argentina), the accelerated anthropization process has modified the natural landscape of the upper basin of the Río Cuarto river, reducing ecosystem services, so this study aims to characterize its vegetation and assess its conservation status.
M&M: Vegetation censuses were carried out in the different environments and the environmental units were digitized. Then, the Integral Environmental Assessment Index was applied in order to define the conservation value.
Results: Seven vegetation units belonging to the biogeographic province of Chaco and three to Comechingones were defined. One hundred ninety-six environmental units (UA) were digitized, 8% of which were in very good condition covering large areas. Thirty-nine percent of the defined UA were in poor condition and are located below 850 meters above sea level.
Conclusions: These results allowed us to generate new knowledge to complete the landscape scenario of one of the most important basins in the Córdoba province as well as providing higher resolution information to be used by conservation agency in the implementation of Law 9814 on the territorial planning of the native forests. |

Introducción y Objetivos: Reconocer la relación existente entre la composición, estructura y funcionalidad de un ecosistema lleva a deducir que los servicios derivados de ellos son vulnerables al cambio de uso de la tierra. Es por esto que el desarrollo sustentable de las poblaciones no puede lograrse solamente con el manejo de los capitales económicos y sociales, sino que debe de integrarse con un manejo adecuado del capital natural. En las sierras del sur de Córdoba (Argentina) el acelerado proceso de antropización ha modificado el paisaje natural de la cuenca alta del río Cuarto, disminuyendo los servicios ecosistémicos, por lo que en este trabajo se propuso caracterizar su vegetación y evaluar su estado de conservación. M&M: Se realizaron censos de vegetación en los diferentes ambientes y se digitalizaron las unidades ambientales; luego se calculó el Índice Integral de Evaluación Ambiental para definir el valor de conservación. Resultados: Se definieron 7 unidades de vegetación pertenecientes a la provincia biogeográfica del Chaco y 3 a la de Comechingones. Se digitalizaron 196 unidades de ambientales, de las cuales el 8% se encontró en muy buen estado de conservación abarcando grandes superficies. El 39% se encontró en mal estado y se concentró por debajo de los 850 msnm. Conclusiones: Estos resultados permitieron generar nuevos conocimientos para completar el escenario paisajístico de una de las cuencas más importantes de la provincia de Córdoba, además de brindar información cartográfica de mayor resolución para ser utilizada por las agencias de conservación en la implementación de la Ley 9814 sobre el ordenamiento territorial de los bosques nativos.
