“…Ballota subspecies performed very well in El Bruc, with a survival rate greater than 60% and a statistically significant higher growth with the Cocoon. This holm oak subspecies planting could be considered as an example of assisted migration strategy for adapting to climate change (IPCC, 2007;Pramova et al, 2019). This indigenous subspecies of southern Spain and northwestern Africa was planted at higher latitude, which simulates the displacement of the distribution area that this tree could suffer from amidst climate change by applying the assisted migration mechanism (Sansilvestri et al, 2016;Schwartz et al, 2012).…”

Water‐saving techniques for restoring desertified lands: Some lessons from the field

Nature-based solutions can significantly contribute to restoration projects in areas affected by desertification processes, where they are necessary for reversing land degradation. Currently, one innovative solution is The Cocoon™, which has been designed as a new ecotechnology for improving seedling establishment. The Cocoon consists of a doughnut-shaped container made of recycled cardboard that provides water and shelter at least during the first year of a seedling, which is the most critical for plant establishment. To determine the effectiveness of this ecotechnology under different conditions, the Cocoon was tested on a variety of soils, climates, vegetation, and land uses. Six planting trials were performed in Spain and Greece, which covered a range from humid to arid climates. With the objective of studying its functionality, the survival of the seedlings, their vigor, and growth were monitored for 2 years.Compared with conventional planting systems, the Cocoon has effectively increased seedling survival, especially under dry growing conditions (low rainfall, soils with low water holding capacity). The Cocoon also allowed for higher growth of some species (olive trees, holm oaks, and Aleppo pines). Moreover, a positive correlation between the rainfall on the site and the biodegradation degree of the Cocoon device was observed. Overall, the Cocoon becomes more efficient in arid climates or adverse growing conditions.
