Soil ERosion IAS-CSIC

Agronomic research team focused on soil conservation, we belong to the Institute of Sustainable Agriculture (IAS) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
Located in the experimental agricultural farm Alameda del Obispo (Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain).
Objective: development and dissemination of soil management systems in woody crops (olive groves and vineyards) to counteract soil degradation due to water erosion and for this purpose:
- We collaborate with specialists from other disciplines in search of the sustainability of woody crops in Mediterranean climates.
- We compare soil losses under different management systems on a medium scale.
- We study water and sediment distribution processes using tracers.
- We measure and model the erosion process and water balance
- We characterise and advise farmers on the use of cover crops with native species.
- We restore and revegetate gullies
- Dissemination and dissemination
