Dairy farms management and carbon storage in the soil fractions
(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Miranda M., Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The dairy sector is one of the main economic activities in the Spanish region of Galicia, located in the northwest of the country. In dairy farms, the type of farm management has a clear effect on climate change mitigation by modifying crucial processes such as carbon storage in the soil. This...Read more
Effect of the forage maize-pasture rotation on the soil carbon storage in Galicia (NW Spain)
(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Galicia is a region in NW Spain with high economic dependence on dairy cattle where livestock feeding is mainly based on the production of forage maize. In this region, one of the major challenges for the forage maize production systems is to maximize the economic return while minimizing...Read more
Effect of shade on production and grain yield in greenhouse wheat varieties
(Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M., Franco-Grandas T., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Álvarez-López V.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The effects of climate change threaten food security by affecting the production and quality of crops that are part of the world's food base, such as wheat. The crop-tree association can act as a tool to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and it is important to analyze the influence of the...Read more
Keywords:
Triticum aestivum L.; commercial varieties; shade, precocity, sowing date
Effects of light stress on wheat and rye varieties grain composition
Franco-Grandas T., Álvarez-López V., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Integrating woody perennials and agricultural crops combined is a centuries-old practice, nowadays called agroforestry. Because agroforestry is being promoted by public administrations, it is essential to obtain scientific knowledge about the effect of different factors (e.g. tree shade) on crop...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
Agroforestry innovation networks (AFINET): Knowledge Transfer and Innovation
Rodríguez-Rigueiro F., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Agroforestry is recognised as climate-smart agriculture, being a powerful tool for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Considering knowledge transfer a capital challenge to overcome the needed transition towards this for the European Commission, the AFINET (AgroForestry Innovation NETworks)...Read more
Sustainable development assessment on Grass-based circular business models for rural agri-food value chains (GO-GRASS)
(Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M., Rodríguez-Rigueiro F., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Álvarez-López V., Franco-Grandas T., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Santiago-Freijanes J.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Climate change affects temperate areas by increasing the risk of suffering extreme climatic events and sharping major problematics. Moreover, climate change and its related effects jeopardize water and food supply. Rural areas are key for sustainable development and provide socio-economics...Read more
Keywords:
Grassland, Value chain, Bioeconomy, Key Performance Indicator, Bussines model.
The climate change and relevant negative impacts are currently widely discussed topic. The agricultural soil erosion represent the risks generated also by agricultural activities reflected in soil quality. Rapid climate change can cause the instability of most agricultural and forest ecosystems...Read more

An Assessment of Soil Erosion using RUSLE Model: A Case Study from the Marmara Region
Ezer A., (Corresponding) Güven B.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Soil resource is essential for livelihood of human being. Soil erosion is one of the most serious natural problem affected by land degradation, agricultural and other human induced activities, such as climate change, particularly the changed precipitation trend. The aim of the study is applying the...Read more
