Geologically, the site consists of gypseous materials that emerge from within the eroded nucleus of the Sanaüja and Pont anticline.

FLORA AND VEGETATION

In the Sió-Llobregós valleys, there are gypsicolous vegetation formations, such as continental gypsicolous thyme scrubland of Ononis tridentata, Gypsophyla hispanica, and Helianthemum squamatum. In the sunnier areas, where the gypsum recedes, calcicolous scrubs of rosemary or small fragments of holm oak groves persist and in the ubacs there are some relatively important reserves of Valencian oak groves (Quercus faginea).

The species that are strictly protected by the PEIN are the following:

Gypsophila hispanicam, Helianthemum squamatum, Lepidium subulatum, Ononis tridentata, Tortula sp.

WILDLIFE

The Sió-Llobregós Valleys are a good scattering area for young Bonelli's eagle (Hieraaetus fasciatus). There are also some other interesting steppe birds: the little bustard (Tetrax tetrax) is to be found here in one of the highest densities of the species in Catalonia. The European roller also inhabits this area (Coracias garrulus).
