It has been shown that soil management under organic farming can enhance carbon, thereby mitigating atmospheric greenhouse gas increases, but until now quantitative evaluations based on long term experiments are scarce, especially Mediterranean conditions. Changes in carbon (SOC) content were examined response to with cover crops a citrus plantation using 21 years of survey data. Soil increase was more apparent 5 after land change suggesting that, for plantations conditions, studies should...
Abstract Elevated soil loss and runoff rates can reduce fertility; therefore, erosion control strategies must be implemented at the hillslope watershed scale when plantations are established is bare. In this research, we propose use of Vicia sativa Roth. to losses during first year peak after plantation in tilled vineyards. To test its efficiency, rainfall simulation experiments were carried out with field surveys The Casa Pago Gran, Eastern Iberian Peninsula. Our results demonstrate that...
There is an urgent need to implement environmentally friendly agriculture management practices achieve the Sustainable Goals for Development (SDGs) of United Nations by 2030. Mediterranean characterized intense and millennia-old tillage as a consequence degraded soil. No-Tillage has been widely examined solution soil degradation but relies more on application herbicides that reduce plant cover, which in turn enhances erosion. However, with weed cover should be researched promote organic...
Due to the reduction in prices of oranges on market and social changes such as ageing population, traditional orange plantation abandonment Mediterranean is taking place. Previous research land impact soil water resources has focused rainfed agriculture abandonment, but there no irrigated abandonment. In Valencia Region—the largest producer Europe—abandonment resulting a quick vegetation recovery properties, then erosion. Therefore, we performed rainfall simulation experiments (0.28 m2; 38.8...
Soil erosion is a threat for the sustainability of agriculture and severely affects Mediterranean crops. Olive groves are among rainfed lands that exhibit soil water losses due to impact unsustainable practices such as conventional tillage herbicides abuse. To achieve more sustainable olive oil production, alternative, greener crop management need be tested in field. Here, weed cover (CW) treatment at an tree plantation has undergone mechanical 20 years results were compared against adjacent...
Floods are a consequence of extreme rainfall events. Although surface runoff generation is the origin discharge, flood research usually focuses on lowlands where impact higher. Runoff and sediment delivery at slope pedon scale receiving much less attention in effort to understand behaviour time space. This especially relevant areas where, due climatic hydrogeological conditions, streams ephemeral, so-called dry rivers (“wadis”, "ramblas" or “barrancos”) that widespread throughout...
This article presents social research, conducted through interviews with experts involved in land administration Colombia, on the possibility of using Fit-For-Purpose methodology, combined indirect methods, to accelerate capture cadastral data. The were asked about design a data system, mobile application, acquire properties and their approximate coordinates, as well owners, where owners themselves are ones who declare these A functional prototype has also been developed tested Spain....
Persimmons ( Diospyros kaki ) are trees cultivated under subtropical environmental conditions but also found in other regions such as the Mediterranean. However, no research has been conducted to investigate soil erosion processes Mediterranean management systems characterized by flood irrigation and/or tillage. The Improved Stock Unearthing Method (ISUM) for assessing long‐term mobilization was applied two fields, one tillage and no‐till with herbicide within a 25‐year old persimmon...
Agricultural activities induce micro-topographical changes, soil compaction and structural changes due to cultivation, which directly affect ecosystem services. However, little is known about how these occur during after the planting of orchards, key factors processes play a major role in cultivation works. This study evaluates improved stock unearthing method (ISUM) as low-cost precise alternative tedious costly traditional core sampling method, characterize representative persimmon orchard...
To understand soil erosion processes, it is vital to know how the weather types and atmospheric situations, their distribution throughout year, affect rates. This will allow for development of efficient land management practices mitigate water-induced losses. Vineyards are one cultivated areas susceptible high However, there a lack studies that link conditions responses in viticultural areas. Thus, main aim this research assess impacts on processes conventional vineyard with tillage eastern...
The Improved Stock Unearthing Method (ISUM) was initially designed to assess soil mobilisation rates in vineyards; however, other grafted crops such as citrus orchards could also be successfully used. results obtained from ISUM have been used for several goals, but not yet applied computing the LS factor (length and slope) a part of Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), which give useful information improve management system plans. This investigation conducted an 8-year old clementine field...
Ash cover the forest fire affected soil for some weeks or months and act as a key factor to determine water losses. depth is researched here how affect detachment runoff generation. Seventy rainfall simulation experiments on paired 0.50 m2 plots (five with 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15- 30-mm ash depth), repeated one week later) under thunderstorms of 48 mmh-1 hour were carried out laboratory conditions. In first experiment, after bed was applied, results show that determines rates they reduce...
A review on trial erosion shows that soil rates are one to three orders of magnitude higher than the ones recommended as sustainable. This is threatening sustainable managements mountain terrains, mainly in popular hiking paths. The warm temperatures characterize Eastern Spain winter, which results visitors from northern Europe walk coastal land mountainous terrain. increases pressure currently highly visited most We selected representative transects trails Serra de Bérnia, Puigcampana,...
High rates of soil erosion compromise sustainable agriculture. In rainfed agricultural fields, several orders ofmagnitude higher than the considered tolerable have been quantified. Mediterranean crops suchas vineyards, almonds and olive groves, in new sloping citrus persimmon plantations, lossmake it necessary to apply measures reduce them avoid collapse production. Managements such asweeds, catch mulches (straw pruning remains) are viable options achieve sustainability. This work...
Policymakers, stakeholders and rural inhabitants must be aware of the relevance soil erosion as an irreversible landdegradation process. This is key to achieve land degradation neutrality challenge sustainability humankindand natural ecosystems. Agricultural areas are being affected by threatening quality and, subsequently,food security. Therefore, it necessary develop new techniques methods visually friendly easy accessedto survey assess concerns. ISUM (Improve Stock Unearthing Method) a...
