Climate and Land Use Change Effects on Sediment Production in a Dry Tropical Forest Catchment
(MDPI, 2021)
Understanding the natural and anthropogenic drivers that influence erosion and sediment transport is a key prerequisite for adequate management of river basins, where, especially in tropical catchments, there are few direct ...
Evaluation of Drought Stress in Cereal through Probabilistic Modelling of Soil Moisture Dynamics
(MDPI, 2020)
The early and accurate detection of drought episodes is crucial for managing agricultural yield losses and planning adequate policy responses. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of two novel indices, static and ...
Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Droughts in Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
Drought is an important natural hazard that is expected to increase in frequency and intensity as a consequence of climate change. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of future changes in the temperature and precipitation ...
A Farmer’s Perspective on the Relevance of Grassland-Related Innovations in Mediterranean Dehesa Systems
(MDPI, 2022)
Grasslands are of key importance for the provision of ecosystem services (ES). Suitable management is essential to guarantee their persistence and functionality. There is a growing interest in innovations such as new ...
Soil Salinity Patterns in an Olive Grove Irrigated with Reclaimed Table Olive Processing Wastewater
(MDPI, 2022)
The agricultural use of saline table olive processing wastewater enables the implementation of closed water cycles in this socioeconomically important industry for rural southern Spain and relieves environmental, economic, ...
LANZA® Tedera Is Strongly Suppressed by Competition from Lolium multiflorum and Is Best Adapted to Light-Textured Soils
(MDPI, 2023)
Bituminaria bituminosa var. albomarginata, known as Tedera, is a promising forage for Mediterranean climates. An improved variety named LANZA® has been developed. Previous research suggests that soil water saturation in ...
An overview of permanent grassland grazing management practices and the impacts on principal soil quality indicators
(MDPI, 2023)
Grasslands are at risk of degradation due to unsustainable management practices and climate change. Here, we review the principal soil quality indicators (SQIs) to evaluate the sustainability of different grassland management ...
Efectos del uso y del manejo del suelo sobre la erosión y la generación de escorrentía en pastos permanentes en Europa
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2023)
Grassland ecosystems are widely recognized for their ability to reduce runoff and mitigate erosion and flooding compared to arable land and forest ecosystems. However, significant knowledge gaps exist regarding the ...
