Pasture biodiversity after five years of establishment of a walnut silvopastoral system fertilized with different types of sewage sludge
ARIAS-MARTÍNEZ D., (Corresponding) MOSQUERA-LOSADA M., RIGUEIRO-RODRÍGUEZ A., FERREIRO-DOMÍNGUEZ N.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Silvopasture is the combination of woody vegetation with forage and animal production on the same land that allows the diversification of agricultural income and productivity. In the silvopastoral systems, the fertilisation with sewage sludge could increase tree growth and pasture production at the...Read more

Monitoring of soil Greenhouse Gases emissions from a controlled burnt area combined with guided herbivory
(Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Álvarez-López V.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Rural depopulation as well as the intensification of farming systems in southern Europe have led to important changes in landscape and the ecosystem services they provide. Indoors livestock production is translated into a reduction or absence of grazing which ends up with a rapid expansion of...Read more
Prescribed fire combined with guided herbivory can control shrub development in an Iberian heathland
Álvarez-López V., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada R.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The high amount of biomass fuel accumulated in Mediterranean areas due to land abandonment, combined with the effects of climate change, results in high severity fires that strongly affect local environment and social communities. Traditional fire practices and livestock grazing can be efficient...Read more
Solar parks effect on soil properties: Initial results
Du Hamel A., Papadopoulos A., (Corresponding) Pantera A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Solar power generation in Greece has only been increasing since the 1980s to become the main source of renewable energy. Today, around 4.1 million m2 of Greek land is covered by solar parks. This article starts with a literature review on how the photovoltaic panels impact their environment and on...Read more
