Resumen

One of the traditional agricultural uses in mountain areas is grazing, an activity that has formed very complex ecosystems in which various mechanisms of interaction between plant communities and herbivores take place, with the human factor as a driving force for the different processes. The present work is based on this holistic view of grazing systems as socio-ecological systems, where the link between the sociocultural and ecological component is very close. Understanding and managing this link is the key to the success of sustainable management of these areas. The main objective is the development of a support system for decision making in pasture management. Demonstration actions, that will generate the specific knowledge required for decision making to respond to the detected problems, are implemented. To this end, a monitoring plan is programmed as a basis for adaptive management based on the training of technicians and stockbreeders in the protocols of the different indicators to be used in the assessment of sustainability, as well as their basic interpretation, thus contributing to the involvement, training, sensitization and motivation in the conservation of pastoral habitats.
