    La extracción de leña y madera de la dehesa de Zacatena (Daimiel, Ciudad Real) en el siglo XVI y su situación a mediados del siglo XVIII
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2022) Fernández-Izquierdo, F. (Francisco)
    The dehesa of Zacatena was owned by the Order of Calatrava from the twelfth century until its sale in 1763. The incorporation of the military orders and their assets to the Crown since the late fifteenth century, and their management by the Council of Orders have bequeathed extensive documentation that allows us to know details about the exploitation of this meadow lands, which are placed at the current National Park of the “Tablas de Daimiel”. The extraction of firewood was a fundamental product of the dehesas, in addition to pasture for livestock. The production of firewood obtained in an area of more than 6000 ha in the sixteenth century, and the estimate to make charcoal in the eighteenth century, compared with the figures of current and historical studies, confirm the benefit for the conservation of the oaks derived from the fact that Zacatena was administered by the Crown, under the supervision of a senior guard and his assistants. Assessments are given in the conversion of the old units of measurement used for firewood and charcoal, with respect to the current metrology. The visits with “eye view”, and the practices used in pruning and harvesting the holm oaks have revealed unprecedented information about traditional forestry and the procedures applied for the clearing and sustainable conservation of Mediterranean forests.
