TUdi presents soil erosion research at EGU 2022

The erosion laboratory from the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture (IAS-CSIC) - the leading institution of the TUdi project - attended the last European Geosciences Union General Assembly, hold in Vienna during May, 23-27^th.

In this conference, José A. Gómez (TUdi coordinator) and Gema Guzmán (project co-manager) presented and discussed some of the results from different soil erosion plots set up in two contrasting olive orchards at southern Spain.

In these trials, runoff, soil loss and a set of soil properties have been monitored under different ground cover managements since early 2000s. More information about this research can be found at:

How does a vertic soil move? Soil erosion rates and its redistribution in an olive orchard at the medium-term.

Long-term hydrologic effect of temporary cover crops in an olive orchard on a sandy-loamy soil.

During their visit to Vienna, they had the chance of visiting some of the experiments carried out by the BOKU partners thanks to Stefan Strohmeier and to participate in the International Study Day on Tracing nicely organised by Sabine Karaushaar and Olivier Evrard.
