A meta-analysis specially based on tree crops was conducted to evaluate the changes in
soil organic carbon (SOC), soil N and P, and crop yield in a Mediterranean climate, which …

Olive is a key crop in the Mediterranean basin, socially, economically, and environmentally,
being a major source of rural employment. Organic products such as olive oil have attracted …

Purpose Soil erosion is a threat for the sustainability of the grove production all over the
world, and olive groves are where the highest erosion is achieved. This study aimed to (1) …

In Mediterranean areas, through the years, natural forest (NF) areas have suffered land use
change (LUC) mainly for economic reasons. This is the case of olive groves (OG) in …

A thorough knowledge of the effects of climate and land use changes on the soil carbon pool
is critical to planning effective strategies for adaptation and mitigation in future scenarios of …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important part of the global carbon (C) cycle. In addition,
SOC is a soil property subject to changes and highly variable in space and time. Over time …

Soil quality is mainly studied from the chemical and physical point of view, whereas soil
biochemical and microbiological parameters are relatively more scarcely explored to assess …

Tillage modifies soil structure and has been suggested as a practice to improve physical,
hydrological and chemical properties of compacted soils. But little is known about effect of …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is extremely important in the global carbon (C) cycle as C
sequestration in non-disturbed soil ecosystems can be a C sink and mitigate greenhouse …

Cover crops (CCs) are herbaceous plants established in the inter-rows of woody crops. CCs
have multiple purposes, including improving soil organic matter and soil nutrients. In the …
