Hydrogeology and Groundwater Management in a Coastal Granitic Area With Steep Slopes in Galicia (Spain)
(Springer, 2021)
[Abstract] Groundwater availability, management and protection are great challenges for the sustainability of groundwater resources in the scattered rural areas of the Atlantic regions of Europe where groundwater is the ...
Long-Term Concentrations and Loads of Four Dissolved Macronutrients from Two Agroforestry Catchments in NW Spain
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Understanding hydrological processes controlling stream chemistry and quantifying solute concentrations over time is crucial for estimating future alterations of water quality due to land use or climate change ...
Community-Owned Rural Water Supplies in Galicia (Spain): Supporting Role in the Groundwater Self-Management
(Springer, 2021)
[Abstract] The community-owned rural water supplies in the rural areas of Galicia developed spontaneously in response to the historical shortcomings of local administrations, which are a clear example of commons management ...
Post-fire Practices Benefits on Vegetation Recovery and Soil Conservation in a Mediterranean Area
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Post-fire practices (PFP) aim to reduce soil erosion and favour vegetation recovery, but their effectiveness is spatially heterogeneous and under debate because of the economic and environmental costs. This study ...
Drinking Water Provision and Quality at the Sahrawi Refugee Camps in Tindouf (Algeria) From 2006 to 2016
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Drinking water provision has been a constant challenge in the Sahrawi refugee camps, located in the desert near Tindouf (Algeria). The drinking water supply system is itself divided in three zones which pump ...
Impact of forest-pasture conversion on soil physical and chemical properties
(Instituto Federal Sul de Minas Gerais, 2021)
[Abstract:] The objective of this paper is to assess the changes in soil physical and chemical properties resulting from the conversion of native forest to pasture and pasture to secondary forest in the state of Santa ...
Post-fire Management Effects on Sediment (Dis)Connectivity in Mediterranean Forest Ecosystems: Channel and Catchment Response
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021)
[Abstract] Forest fires and post-fire practices influence sediment connectivity (SC). In this study, we use the ‘aggregated index of connectivity’ (AIC) to assess SC in five Mediterranean catchments (198–1090 ha) affected ...
Using Environmental Variables and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to Predict Soil Organic Carbon
(Elsevier, 2021-03-19)
[Abstract] Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) content is a key element for soil fertility and productivity, nutrient availability and potentially represents a measurement of the sink for greenhouse gas abatement. Improving our ...
Predicting Weathering Indices in Soils Using FTIR Spectra and Random Forest Models
(Elsevier, 2021-05-19)
[Abstract] Weathering indices based on the relative proportions of different chemical elements are a useful tool to investigate the degree of weathering of soils. This characterization is missing in West Azerbaijan, northern ...
Comparing Multifractal Characteristics of Soil Particle Size Distributions Calculated by Mie and Fraunhofer Models From Laser Diffraction Measurements
(Elsevier, 2021-01-22)
[Abstract] Particle size distribution (PSD) is a basic soil property, closely related to main soil physical and chemical attributes. Soil PSD determined by laser diffraction (LD) may provide additional information to soil ...
