Casting activity of scherotheca gigas in no-till Mediterranean soils: role in organic matter incorporation and influence of aridity
The behaviour of earthworms, their role in organic matter incorporation into the soil, and the influence of aridity in such processes in arid and semiarid regions have scarcely been studied. In this study, physico-chemical ... -
Conservation agriculture on irrigated gravelly soils. Assessment of the effect of stoniness on the soil water flow and soil properties
Los suelos que contienen fragmentos de roca (partículas > 2 mm de diámetro) se denominan suelos pedregosos, y sólo en la región mediterránea cubren más del 60% de la superficie. Su uso para la producción de alimentos y ... -
Effect of stoniness on the hydraulic properties of a soil from an evaporation experiment using the wind and inverse estimation methods
Stony soils are distributed all over the world. The study of their characteristics has gained importance lately due to their increasing use as agricultural soils. The effect that rock fragments exert on the soil hydraulic ... -
Improving the structural stability of cropped soils in Olite (Navarre) using conservation tillage to reduce water erosion
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe objective of this work was to compare the soil wet aggregate stability and its relationship to the soil organic matter stock in an agricultural soil under different types of tillage in a semi-arid area of Northern Spain. -
Soil degradation and soil quality in Western Europe: current situation and future perspectives
The extent and causes of chemical, physical and biological degradation of soil, and of soil loss, vary greatly in different countries in Western Europe. The objective of this review paper is to examine these issues and ... -
Soil quality evaluation following the implementation of permanent cover crops in semi-arid vineyards. Organic matter, physical and biological soil properties
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2012) Artículo / ArtikuluaEl establecimiento de cubiertas vegetales permanentes (PGC) en viñedos de zonas semiáridas, con manejo tradicional de suelo desnudo mediante laboreo y aplicación de herbicidas, es controvertido, porque tiene ventajas ... -
Tillage effects on soil quality after three years of irrigation in Northern Spain
Irrigation is being initiated on large areas of traditionally rainfed land to meet increasing global demand for food, feed, fiber and fuel. However, the consequences of this transition on soil quality (SQ) have scarcely ...
