Abstract Green water, or plant‐available soil moisture, is a substantial subset of terrestrial fresh water. Land‐use change (LUC) alters green water dynamics through interactions on the micro‐level (i.e., between and vegetation) macro‐level land surface atmosphere). Ongoing global deforestation, growing interest in reforestation projects, begs question whether such large‐scale LUCs have major eco‐hydrological impacts via process moisture recycling. This requires systematic, mechanistic...
Abstract Agricultural land abandonment is currently widely spread in Mediterranean countries and a further increase expected. Previous research has shown that abandoned fields semi‐arid areas are more vulnerable to gully erosion. The absence of ploughing slow vegetation recovery cause the formation soil crusts with low infiltration rates, resulting increased runoff erosion risk. objective our study was assess extent causes terrace failure on discuss options for mitigation. carried out...
Abstract Runoff connectivity depends on topography, rainfall, man‐made elements (terraces, trails, roads and drainage systems) vegetation. In this study, we quantified the effects of 70 years human activities runoff in mountainous Araguás afforested sub‐catchment (17·2 ha; Central Spanish Pyrenees). The IC index hydrological was chosen to perform metric over six land use scenarios at high spatial resolution (1 × 1 m cell size). current scenario (year 2012) simulated with three flow...
Mediterranean mountains are sensitive agroecosystems that have suffered intense land use and cover changes (LULCC) during the last century. From middle of twentieth century, most cultivated lands in were abandoned, allowing recovery vegetation (through natural revegetation afforestation programmes). To examine effects farmland abandonment, secondary succession (natural revegetation) afforestation, an intensive soil sampling was carried out Araguás catchment (Central Spanish Pyrenees)...
Abstract Soil dwelling ants are important soil engineers that have a large impact on the ecosystem. This is reflected in alteration of properties by due to burrowing activities, accumulation organic matter and other nutrients soil, which, turn, alters physical, chemical (micro) biological processes. A review recent literature these fine scale changes resulting from ant activity presented this paper. However, do not only affect at but also effects hillslope catchment scales with respect...
Soil erosion phenomena occur at a range of time and space scales, from the plot in which individual measurements are made, via field scale concerns farmer, up to national or regional scales where they can influence major planning decisions. A number approaches problems up-scaling have been developed context climate soil erosion, within projects EU Environment Programme (MEDALUS, EFEDA, ERMES). Some these relate dominant dynamic interactions create patterns different spatial ways interact....
A better process understanding of how water erosion influences the redistribution soil organic carbon (SOC) is sorely needed to unravel role for (C) budget from local global scales. The main objective this study was determine SOC and complete C a loess affected by erosion. We measured fluxes SOC, dissolved (DOC) CO2 in pseudo-replicated rainfall-simulation experiment. characterized different fractions soils redistributed sediments using density fractionation determined enrichment ratios...
