25 years of continuous sewage sludge application vs. mineral fertilizers on a calcareous soil affected pH but not soil carbonates
Inorganic and organic fertilizers have been widely used to maintain crop yields. However, several studies have demonstrated that the dissolution of carbonates in agricultural soils by the acidification induced by N-fertilizers ... -
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 ... -
Effect of irrigation on carbonate dynamics in a calcareous soil using isotopic determinations
Este artículo evalúa el efecto del regadío en la dinámica de los carbonatos en suelos agrícolas. Se ha estudiado la proporción y distribución de carbonatos pedogénicos en las fracciones granulométricas de un suelo en regadío ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of the use of a material with struvite from a wastewater treatment plant as n fertilizer in acid and basic agricultural soils
Struvite (MgNH4PO4 · 6H2O) has been widely studied as an emerging recycled phosphorous fertilizer despite its low solubility. However, there are few studies on the use of this mineral as an N fertilizer. This article ... -
A fertilisation strategy combining mineral fertiliser and biosolid improves long-term yield and carbon storage in a calcareous soil
At a strategic moment for agricultural soils, which are expected to contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon storage while safely feeding a growing world population, the fertiliser strategies used will be ... -
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. -
Irrigation and SOC sequestration in the region of Navarre in Spain
The project REGADIOX, funded by the European Commission LIFE Program was based on the establishment of a regional-scale network of representative agricultural plots in three irrigation districts in Navarre (NE Spain). The ... -
Oinez Basoa: using school-managed afforested land for soil education in Navarre, Spain
El estudio del suelo en la educación secundaria es un tema de debate ya que, a pesar de la creciente preocupación por el suelo en las ciencias ambientales, sigue siendo poco considerado en los planes de estudio y programas ... -
Organic carbon storage and dynamics as affected by the adoption of irrigation in a cultivated calcareous mediterranean soil
Irrigation is in the spotlight of land-use planning in semi-arid and sub-humid regions. It can be a promising practice to promote soil organic C storage (SOC), although it may also involve an increase in soil GHG emissions. ... -
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 organic carbon monitoring to assess agricultural climate change adaptation practices in Navarre, Spain
Climate change adaptation strategies are needed for agriculture, one of the most vulnerable human activities. In Navarre, North of Spain, ongoing adaptive management practices were identified and promoted in the framework ... -
Soil quality assessment after 25 years of sewage sludge vs. mineral fertilization in a calcareous soil
The aim of this work was to identify the most sensitive soil quality indicators and assess soil quality after long-term application of sewage sludge (SS) and conventional mineral fertilization for rainfed cereal production ... -
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 ... -
Soil water retention and soil compaction assessment in a regional-scale strategy to improve climate change adaptation of agriculture in Navarre, Spain
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the different agricultural management adaptive strategies considered in the framework of a regional climate change adaptation roadmap in Navarre (Spain), from ... -
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 ...
