Carbon farming practices are pivotal for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in agricultural systems. This study focuses on evaluating the effects of spontaneous cover crops as a conservation strategy compared to conventional management total, non-protected, and protected SOC fractions, well saturation, olive groves across 13 paired sites (26 total) Andalucía, Spain. The research evaluates concentrations different fractions: non-protected (250–2000 µm), physically (53–250 chemically...
In Southern Spain, olive trees have traditionally been cultivated in marginal areas with relatively shallow and bare soils under rainfed conditions, resulting heavy soil losses degradation. The implementation of temporary spontaneous cover crops the inter-rows groves, has proven to be a suitable diversification strategy reduce erosion but it can also contribute climate change mitigation boosting internal nutrient recycling. However, information on contribution atmospheric CO 2 fixation...
Mediterranean olive growing characterizes, identifies, and can sustain the socioeconomic viability of rural areas, not only through production primary products but also management renewable natural resources, conservation landscape biodiversity. However, high levels mechanization, monocultures, intensive farming techniques, use synthetic pesticides fertilizers are threatening environment affecting communities in turn. In last years, agroecological discourse emerged as a transdisciplinary...
Under the Zero pollution action, there is a strong emphasis on promoting management practices that enhance nitrogen (N) cycling to decrease reliance inorganic N fertilizers and mitigate potential environmental impacts. Olive (Olea europaea L.) groves constitute dominant landscape of many areas Southern Mediterranean as Andalusia (Spain). Different farming models coexist in olive sector, but they had not been studied context cycle. By integrating field model data, we analyzed flows, balance,...
Cover crops (CC), pruning residues (PR), and olive mill pomace (OP) are common amendments to enhance soil quality in groves; however, there is limited information on the dynamics of carbon (C) nitrogen (N) during their decomposition under varying conditions. In this laboratory experiment, we assessed C N mineralization CC, PR, OP at application rates 2 5 mg g−1 soils with organic levels, both without addition NO3−. The results indicated that patterns varied significantly between amendments,...
