“…The findings demonstrated that the soils are able to recover plant cover and soil organic matter once abandoned as other authors demonstrated in other types of agricultural land [17,40]. The changes in plant cover will affect fauna such as has been demonstrated by other colleagues [41][42][43] and soil properties. The non-utilisation of irrigation has generated soils which contain a lower amount of water (antecedent soil moisture), which could affect some other pedological processes such as organic matter development or aggregate stability [44,45].…”

Due to the reduction in the prices of oranges on the market and social changes such as the ageing of the population, traditional orange plantation abandonment in the Mediterranean is taking place. Previous research on land abandonment impact on soil and water resources has focused on rainfed agriculture abandonment, but there is no research on irrigated land abandonment. In the Valencia Region—the largest producer of oranges in Europe—abandonment is resulting in a quick vegetation recovery and changes in soil properties, and then in water erosion. Therefore, we performed rainfall simulation experiments (0.28 m2; 38.8 mm h−1) to determine the soil losses in naveline orange plantations with different ages of abandonment (1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years of abandonment) which will allow for an understanding of the temporal changes in soil and water losses after abandonment. Moreover, these results were also compared with an active plantation (0). The results show that the soils of the active orange plantations have higher runoff discharges and higher erosion rates due to the use of herbicides than the plots after abandonment. Once the soil is abandoned for one year, the plant recovery reaches 33% of the cover and the erosion rate drops one order of magnitude. This is related to the delay in the runoff generation and the increase in infiltration rates. After 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years, the soil reduced bulk density, increase in organic matter, plant cover, and soil erosion rates were found negligible. We conclude that the abandonment of orange plantations reduces soil and water losses and can serve as a nature-based solution to restore the soil services, goods, and resources. The reduction in the soil losses was exponential (from 607.4 g m−2 in the active plot to 7.1 g m−2 in the 10-year abandoned one) but the water losses were linear (from 77.2 in active plantations till 12.8% in the 10-year abandoned ones).

“…En suelos de frutales y FRU-UND, el Ni unido a la fase reducible alcanzó el 40%, lo que indica que en estos suelos el Ni generalmente se encuentra adsorbido en los óxidos de Fe y Mn [17]. A pesar de la alta concentración de Cu encontrada tanto en los suelos agrícolas como en los suelos naturales, su movilidad fue baja debido a la presencia de materia orgánica y al alto contenido de carbonatos [18].…”

“…Finalmente, PC4 explica el 17% de la varianza total, y puede considerarse como fuente antrópica de Cu y Cd. La acumulación de Cu en los suelos agrícolas mediterráneos se debe principalmente al uso de productos agroquímicos, especialmente pesticidas a base de Cu [18,23], así como algunos fertilizantes minerales, estiércol de ganado y lodos de aguas residuales que además aporta Cd a los suelos agrícolas.…”

Concentración, distribución y procedencia de metales y metaloides en suelos bajo diferentes sistemas de cultivo Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la influencia de cuatro tipos de cultivo en la acumulación y especiación de metales en suelos, e identificar su procedencia. Se tomaron 40 muestras de suelo de cereales, frutales, cítricos y hortícolas, y se analizaron Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, As y su especiación química. Los resultados mostraron que los suelos de cítricos y hortícolas estaban enriquecidos con Pb y Cd, los de cereales con Pb y los de frutales con Zn, destacando que todos estaban enriquecidos con Cu, especialmente los suelos de cítricos. Los suelos de cereales tienen un mayor riesgo debido a la alta movilidad de Cd, mientras que en los de hortícolas el mayor riesgo fue causado por la movilidad de Pb. En los suelos de cereales, Pb, Cu y Cd tenían origen antrópico, mientras que el resto tenía un origen geológico. En cítricos, Cd, Pb, Zn y Cu tenían un origen antropogénico, y el resto geogénico. En cítricos, As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mn y Cd tenían un origen antropogénico mientras que Fe y Cr tenían un origen geogénico. Los suelos hortícolas, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn tendrían un origen antropogénico mientras que el resto tendrían un origen geogénico. Por lo tanto, se puede concluir que la producción agrícola intensiva enriquece los suelos por metales de acuerdo con el tipo de cultivo.Palabras clave: especiación química, metales pesados, análisis multivariante, sistema de cultivo

“…Despite the higher total Cu content in both agriculture and undisturbed soils, the mobility of Cu were low due to the presence of organic matter and high carbonate content (Cavani et al, 2016). The percentage of Cu bound to the reducible phase made this element more mobile in crop soils than in undisturbed soils.…”

“…The accumulation of Cu in Mediterranean agriculture soils is mainly due to the use of agrochemical products, especially Cu-based pesticides (Toth et al, 2016;Cavani et al, 2016) as well some mineral fertilizers, livestock manure and sewages sludge that in addition provide Cd to agricultural soils. Finally, PC4 explains 16.57% of the total variance, and it can be consider an anthropic source of Cu and Cd.…”
