How Do Land Use And Land Cover Changes After Farmland Abandonment Affect Soil Properties And Soil Nutrients In Mediterranean Mountain Agroecosystems?, Estela Nadal-Romero, Makki Khorchani, Leticia Gaspar, José Arnáez, Erik Cammeraat, Ana Navas, Teodoro Lasanta

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Mediterranean mountains are sensitive agroecosystems that have suffered intense land use and land cover changes (LULCC) during the last century. From the middle of the twentieth century, most of the cultivated lands in Mediterranean mountains were abandoned, allowing the recovery of vegetation (through natural revegetation and afforestation programmes). To examine the effects of farmland abandonment, secondary succession (natural revegetation) and afforestation, an intensive soil sampling was carried out in the Aragu´as catchment (Central Spanish Pyrenees) including sparsely vegetated areas (badlands), grasslands, shrublands and afforested sites. LULCC were mapped, and soil physico-chemical properties were analysed in reference sites (unaltered areas during …
