Abstract
The content in non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs), constitutes an important tool at the time of reconstructing
the paleoenviromental changes of a deposit and explaining them in terms of climate and/or anthropic activity.
This work show NPPs data from the peat deposit Pñ appear, of periglacial origin, located in the bulk of
Peñalara, (Mountain range of Guadarrama, Madrid). 14C data, locate the formation of this deposit in 1.600±40
BP. During this period, the palinological data show a regional landscape formed by forests of Pinus sylvestris,
Pinus pinaster and Quercus, as well as presences of Betula, whereas on local scale anthropozoogenic bivouacs
are developed to pastures (Poaceae and Plantago lanceolata). The presence of the higrophic pastures
(Cyperaceae) is constant throughout all the profile, like the NPPs, of similar ecological affinity and whose
variations have been very useful at the time of establishing the humidity fluctuations. Other NPPs has served
to demonstrate: the major or minor pastoral pressure, and the variations in the trophic conditions of the
peat bog. The changes observed in the vegetation and the uses of the ground, are also stated through the
information provided by the values of the pH and the conductivity of the sediment.
