Modeling soil cation exchange capacity in multiple countries

“…The different behavior of the soils in Spain might due to the changes in soil properties triggered by long-term intensive agriculture, which changed the soil properties due to ploughing and the use of pesticides. Agricultural soils in many parts of Spain have been found to be highly degraded, characterized by surface crusting and high soil erosion rates (Taguas et al, 2015;Rodrigo-Comino et al, 2016;Martínez-Casasnovas et al, 2016). The soils in Spain were also enriched in calcium carbonate due to their limestone parent materials and OC levels were not high; therefore, CEC was explained mostly by pH.…”

Soil erosion in sloping vineyards under conventional and organic land use managements (Saar-Mosel Valley, Germany)

“…The age of the vineyard is also a key factor controlling soil erosion intensity. Rodrigo Comino et al (2015;2016e) observed via botanic benchmarks on recently planted vineyards (approx. 4 yr) a decrease of soil erosion rates from 62.5 Mg ha -1 yr -1 to 33.5 Mg ha -1 yr -1 in two years, whilst the erosion rates on old vineyards (>30 yr) were one order of magnitude lower (decreasing in the same period from 3.4 Mg ha -1 yr -1 to 3.3 Mg ha -1 yr -1 ).…”

Soil erosion in sloping vineyards assessed by using botanical indicators and sediment collectors in the Ruwer-Mosel valley

“…In Southern Germany, vineyards located on steep slopes (between 15 and 50 ) and agricultural terraces (Fischer et al, 1999;Koch et al, 2013) are affected by these soil degradation processes due to the high soil and water losses (Rodrigo Comino et al, 2016d, 2015a, which are influenced by soil compaction, which triggers widespread rill and inter-rill soil erosion losses at high rates (Hacisalihoglu, 2007;Richter, 1980;Rodrigo Comino et al, 2016a,b). The main factors that lead to non-sustainable soil erosion rates are: i) steep slopes; ii) disturbances of the soil profile during the planting of vines (Follain et al, 2012;Johnson et al, 1987); iii) topsoil compaction and decreased soil porosity under heavy machinery wheel traffic (Biarnès et al, 2012;Ferrero et al, 2005); iv) high runoff discharges; and v) tillage practices in the inter-rows.…”
