Doñana National Park (south-west Spain): geomorphological characterization through a soil-vegetation study

The geographical history of the Doñana National Park during the Quaternary is viewed as a necessary background to understanding the actual morphology and principal processes. At present, the geomorphology of the Doñana National Park is classified into three morphogenetic systems: aeolian, estuarine and littoral. This paper describes the geomorphological classification of the aeolian system (the eldest one) down to the level of morphoedaphic elements, which are recognized through a soil classification and vegetation study.
