To know the effect of this warming on the Sierra de Guadarrama aquatic fauna, in the years 2008-2009 were compared the populations of aquatic macroinvertebrates in relation to the ones from the seventies.

The vascular flora of the National Park and its Peripheral Protection Zone includes about 1680 subspecific or specific taxa range. Due to its status, as a remarkable altitude massif, to its continental character in relation to other Central System massifs that will surround it, The Sierra de Guadarrama is a singular area with high floristic diversity in the Iberian Peninsula.

Vegetation mapping
The mapping of the former Peñalara Natural Park forest region vegetation has recently been completed. It includes the Rascafría, Alameda del Valle and Pinilla del Valle municipalities. Using this starting point, it is intended to extend the mapping to the entire National Park.
