  • A strategy to enhance soil quality and soil organic carbon stock in abandoned lands

    Open AccessMelani Cortijos‐López, Pedro Sánchez‐Navarrete et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2024

    Farmland abandonment in Mediterranean mid‐mountain areas can lead to the degradation or recovery of soil properties. Typically, after abandonment, fields are covered with shrubs, which hinders livestock grazing and constitutes high wildfire risk. To avoid these negative effects, shrubs are cleared in selected areas. The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether shrub clearing can improve soil quality and enhance carbon sequestration. A …

  • An environmental management experience to control wildfires in the mid-mountain mediterranean area

    Open AccessTeodoro Luque Martínez, Teodoro Lasanta et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2022References: 75

    The Mediterranean mountains have undergone an intense process of land abandonment since the mid-20th century, with far-reaching changes to the landscape (homogeneity and an increase in combustible material), which, combined with the rise in temperatures, increases the size and frequency of wildfires. This increase has taken place despite technical advances in detecting and fighting fires, which suggests that prevention measures should be improved…

  • Soil quality and soil organic carbon storage in abandoned agricultural lands

    Open AccessTeodoro Luque Martínez, Teodoro Lasanta et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2020

    Land abandonment followed by natural revegetation constitutes the main land‐use change in the Mediterranean mountains, affecting soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks; however, there are few studies analysing the effects of cropland abandonment on soils in mid‐mountains. In the Leza Valley (Spain), 43.2% of the area was cultivated but abandoned during the 20th‐century. Natural revegetation gave rise to five land uses (LULCs): pastures…

  • Geo-ecology in the Anthropocene

    Open AccessEstela Nadal‐romero, E Nadal-Romero et al.ARTICLECuadernos de Investigación…2018References: 3

    Human activities have left signatures on the Earth for millennials, and these impacts are growing in the last decades. As a consequence, recent global change suggests that Earth may have entered a new human-dominated geological epoch. In the last years, much scientific debate has focused on the definition, stratigraphic signatures and timing of the Anthropocene. However, there is no a geological evidence, because these changes must be recorded in…

  • Forests and Their Hydrological Effects in Mediterranean Mountains

    Open AccessMaría Pilar Serrano-Muela, Noemí Lana‐renault et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2008

    This article considers the effects of forests on the hydrology of a Mediterranean mountain area. Variations of climate factors, discharge, interception, and water table depth in the San Salvador forested experimental catchment in the Central Spanish Pyrenees were studied and the results compared with those from two deforested catchments. The hydrological response of the San Salvador catchment had the following properties: 1) it had both smaller p…
