Journal ArticleDOI
Soil ecosystem services, sustainability, valuation and management
TL;DR: The type, quantity or quality of soil ecosystem services (ES) depends on the specific environmental characteristics that will determine soil properties and functions and the valuation of soil ES depends on natural features and management type as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of land use and land cover changes on organic carbon stocks in mediterranean soils (1956-2007)
Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Antonio Jordán,Lorena M. Zavala,Diego de la Rosa,Sameh Kotb Abd-Elmabod,María Anaya-Romero +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of land use and land cover change dynamics on soil organic C stocks at different depths was investigated in Andalusia (southern Spain) and the results showed that land use changes between 1956 and 2007 implied soil organic c losses in all soil groups, resulting in a total loss of 16� 8Tg (approximately 0� 33Tg y 1 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil quality indicators to assess functionality of restored soils in degraded semiarid ecosystems
Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Todd E. Erickson,Kingsley W. Dixon,Kingsley W. Dixon,David J. Merritt +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a set of soil quality indicators to assess the soil status in restored soils (topsoil and waste material) and test new methods that are easy to apply, interpret, and cost-effective for the analysis of soil biological indicators in restored ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil physicochemical and microbiological indicators of short, medium and long term post-fire recovery in semi-arid ecosystems
Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Todd E. Erickson,Dylan Martini,Kingsley W. Dixon,Kingsley W. Dixon,David J. Merritt +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the short, medium and long term changes in soil physicochemical and microbiological indicators and indices after a wildfire in a semi-arid environment, and identify the most suitable indicators of post-fire recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic carbon stocks in Mediterranean soil types under different land uses (Southern Spain)
Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Miriam Muñoz-Rojas,Antonio Jordán,Lorena M. Zavala,Diego de la Rosa,Sameh Kotb Abd-Elmabod,María Anaya-Romero +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of soil and land use as determinants of the ability of soils to store C along Mediterranean systems is explored and quantified using soil information from different databases, as well as land use digital maps, climate databases and digital elevation models.
