[EN] The high erosion rates found in the agriculture
land make valuable the use of mulches to control the soil and
water losses. Coffee husk (Coffea canephora var. robusta)
can be one of those mulches. This paper ...
[EN] Saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, K-s, data collected by ponding infiltrometer methods and usual experimental procedures could be unusable for interpreting field hydrological processes and particularly rainfall ...
[EN] Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are common solution to address flow discharges, runoff volumes and pollutant concentrations caused by urban expansion and climate change trend. Among them, permeable pavements ...
[EN] Soil water erosion is a serious problem, especially in agricultural lands.Among these, vineyards deserve attention, because they constitute for the Mediterranean areas a type of land use affected by high soil losses. ...

[EN] In many Mediterranean areas, citrus orchards exhibit high soil loss rates because of the expansion of drip irrigation that allows cultivation on sloping terrain and the widespread use of glyphosate. To mitigate these ...
[EN] There is an urgent need to implement environmentally friendly agriculture management practices to achieve the Sustainable Goals for Development (SDGs) of the United Nations by 2030. Mediterranean agriculture is ...
[EN] Soil and water losses due to agricultural mismanagement are high and non-sustainable in many orchards. An experiment was set up with rainfall simulation at 78 mm h(-1) over 1 hour on 20 paired plots of 2 m(2) (bare ...
