Effects of site preparation with micro-basins on Pinus halepensis Mill. afforestations in a semiarid ombroclimate

Abstract: -A forested area at the Sierra de Gador, Almería, Spain, was afforested with Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) 13 years ago using a technique never before used in Europe for forested areas: banks with micro-basins. This technique is compared in our study to the banks without micro-basins, both in sunny and shady slopes. It is also analysed whether this site preparation modifies the specific composition of the pre-existing vegetation. The average height of the pines planted on shady plots with micro-basins i… Show more

“…First, a key environmental factor (or factors), which is itself spatially autocorrelated, could be missing in the analysis (Zuur et al 2009:177-182), thus indirectly leading to spatial ''attraction'' of tree mortality events. For instance, soil micro-topography (Querejeta et al 2001, Zaady et al 2001, Saquete Ferrandiz et al 2006, its depth and composition (Schiller 1972, Olarieta et al 2000, profile structure (Schiller 1977, Klein et al 2014, and underlying lithology (Schiller 1982, Weinstein-Evron andLev-Yadun 2000) have all been previously shown to affect development of P. halepensis. Since it would be difficult to map such properties at a high resolution for extensive areas, understanding their role in forest decline from drought currently remains restricted to field sites covering limited spatial extents.…”
