| description | Kilca River basin is one of the major river systems before the mountain region, located in the center of the province of Neuquen. In this zone, humid climates, the dominant land use is "veranada", which consists of three annual steps of one type of livestock transhumance, based on the exploitation of natural grassland forage. Given the physiographic formation of these landscapes, there is in them a high propensity to develop geomorphological processes of erosion and landslides. Historical factors linked to the evolution of livestock activity in the region on both sides of the mountain axis, have been identified since the late nineteenth century, land use patterns characterized by excessive seasonal stocking. This organization of the activity involved, not just a deterioration of pastures, but also the break out and acceleration of geomorphic processes. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current problems, focusing biophysical processes, linked to social practices. In this sense, we describe and explain physiographic conditions in terms of degree of instability and deterioration of the land |

En esta zona, de clima subhúmedo, el uso de suelo dominante es el de "veranada", que consiste en una de las tres etapas anuales de un tipo de ganadería trashumante, basado en el aprovechamiento forrajero de pastizales naturales. Dada la constitución fisiográfica de estos paisajes, existe en ellos una gran propensión al desarrollo de procesos geomorfológicos de erosión y remoción en masa. Los factores históricos vinculados a la evolución de la actividad ganadera en la región a ambos lados del eje cordillerano, han determinado desde fines del siglo XIX, modalidades de uso de suelo caracterizadas por el exceso estacional de la carga ganadera. Esta organización de la actividad implicó, no sólo un deterioro de las pasturas, sino además el desencadenamiento y aceleración de los procesos geomorfológicos. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la problemática actual, enfocando los procesos del medio biofísico, vinculados con las prácticas sociales. En este sentido, se describen y explican las condiciones fisiográficas, en términos del grado de inestabilidad y deterioro de las tierras 2009-09-05 2022-03-16T17:59:09Z 2022-03-16T17:59:09Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a04 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/26352 spa https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a04/834 https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a04/835 application/pdf text/html Centro de Historia Argentina y Americana Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 No. 18 (2009) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 Núm. 18 (2009) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 N.º 18 (2009) 1515-5994 |
