Quaternary evolution of the Marão Mountain and its consequences in the present dynamics

Localized in the north of Portugal, Serra do Marão is part of a mountainous range that separates the mountains of Entre Douro e Minho from the plateaux of Trás-os-Montes. Weather characteristics of Quaternary coldest times were very important in terms of morphogenetic processes, which acted on its...
