4. Fine-Tuning Biophysical Parameters: Italy's Methodological Approach to Redefining Areas with Natural Constraints.

Author

Fraschetti, Luca, Cardillo, Concetta, Fantappiè, Maria, Lupia, Flavio, Pesce, Alessandra, and Storti, Daniela

Abstract

One of the main challenges faced by many rural areas is the presence of natural constraints, such as climatic conditions, steep slopes, and poor soil quality, which make agricultural production and activities more difficult and costly. In these areas, there is a significant risk of agricultural land abandonment, leading to potential losses in biodiversity, degradation of rural landscapes, desertification, and increased forest fire risk. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) aims to mitigate these risks through specific payment schemes provided to areas facing natural and other specific constraints. In this context, mapping and measuring territorial differentiation is essential for informing policy responses. At the end of the previous CAP programming period, the EU updated its classification of Less Favored Areas (LFAs), experimenting with a flexible approach based on common biophysical criteria (definitions and thresholds) and methodological guidelines to delineate territorial differentiations that are both locally relevant and comparable across member states. This contribution presents a review of the current state of data and spatial inference systems used in Italy to delineate biophysical limitations and assess the presence of factors that may help offset the impact of natural constraints. This process has supported the analysis of territorial differentiation and highlighted the related implications for agricultural entrepreneurs operating in diverse contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Soil health is a key concept in worldwide efforts to reverse soil degradation, but to be used as a tool to improve soils, it must be definable at a policy level and quantifiable in some way. Soil indicators can be used to define soil health and quantify the degree to which soils fulfil expected functions. Indicators are assessed using target and/or threshold values, which define achievable levels of the indicators or functions. However, defining robust targets and thresholds is not a trivial task, as they should account for soil, climate, land-use, management, and history, among others. This paper introduces and discusses (through theory and stakeholder feedback) four approaches to setting targets and thresholds: fixed, reference, distribution and relative change. Three approaches (not including relative change) are then illustrated using a case study, located in Denmark, Italy, and France, which highlights key strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Finally, a framework is presented that facilitates both choosing the most appropriate target/threshold method for a given context, and using targets/thresholds to trigger follow-up actions to promote soil health.

Abstract

The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale datasets. We buried 36,000 individual litterbags (tea bags) worldwide and found an overall negative correlation between initial mass-loss rates and stabilization factors of plant-derived carbon, using the Tea Bag Index (TBI). The stabilization factor quantifies the degree to which easy-to-degrade components accumulate during early-stage decomposition (e.g. by environmental limitations). However, agriculture and an interaction between moisture and temperature led to a decoupling between initial mass-loss rates and stabilization, notably in colder locations. Using TBI improved mass-loss estimates of natural litter compared to models that ignored stabilization. Ignoring the transformation of dead plant material to more recalcitrant substances during early-stage decomposition, and the environmental control of this transformation, could overestimate carbon losses during early decomposition in carbon cycle models.

Abstract

The intensity and frequency of inter‐row management in vineyards are highly diverse and depend on local environmental conditions and the wine grower's attitude and experience. Reasons for different management include water conservation, weed and pest control, biological activity promotion and soil fertility and biodiversity preservation. We studied different soil cover management in 16 paired vineyards located at eight sites in the Leithaberg and Carnuntum regions of eastern Austria. To this end, we compared inter‐rows with medium intensity (Periodically Mechanically Disturbed) and low intensity (Permanent Green Cover). We investigated the effects of these different management intensities on soil organic carbon, bulk density, saturated and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, pore size distribution and percolation stability in the upper soil layer from 3 to 8 cm. Soil organic carbon and percolation stability were significantly higher and soil bulk density was significantly lower in vineyards with permanent green cover. No significant differences were observed for saturated hydraulic conductivity, pore size distribution and plant available water. This may be attributed to a minor effect as a result of the time lag of up to 2 years since the last tillage. Regression analysis to predict plant‐available water for local vineyard soils also showed that texture, total organic carbon and bulk density were suitable predictor variables. These results suggest that both investigated inter‐row management systems support a good soil structure for winegrowers. Organic carbon content and parameters interacting with organic carbon may still be improved with permanent vegetation cover systems; however, the positive effects on plant available water are limited.

Abstract

Degraded areas are frequent in vineyards, even if managed by organic farming, mainly caused by soil truncation, soil erosion, or salts enrichment. Recovering strategies implemented in 19 degraded vineyards in 5 countries within the RESOLVE project concerned: (i) composted organic amendments, or seeding of cover crops (including legumes) for (ii) green manure or (iii) dry mulch. The relationships between vineyard management and pedo-climatic conditions are useful to better understand other contributions dealing with RESOLVE project reported in the present special issue. The results suggested that the nature of degradation requires optimum seedbed preparation to grow green manure crops. Whereas dry mulching plants needs less tillage operations (neither incorporation nor sowing, if self-reseeding plants), helping the recovery of soil functionality. The potential soil erosion by water was esteemed for the 38 plots, confirming that is a common agent of land degradation in vineyards., The research work was carried out in the framework of the EU project RESOLVE (Restoring optimal Soil functionality in degraded areas within organic vineyards), supported by transnational funding bodies, being partners of the FP7 ERA-net project, CORE Organic Plus, and the cofound from the European Commission.

Abstract

This contribution reports the results of the application of the JRC guidelines to identify Italian agricultural areas, other than mountain areas, facing significant natural constraints (Areas with Natural Constraints -- ANCs). Spatial analysis has been carried out to integrate climatic, soil, terrain and agricultural data. The latter were integrated with administrative boundaries to classify each municipality as ANC if at least one biophysical criterion was relevant. We report maps, tables and graphs of the Italian ANCs defined by biophysical criteria depicting the new geography where agricultural activities might face significant natural constraints.

Abstract

Soils have a great potential in stocking soil organic carbon SOC, but how much can human activities, and particularly agricultural ones, contribute to increase (or decrease) the SOC content? Which kind of agricultural practices are the most effective? From the soil database of Sicily we have selected 52 profiles, whose first 40 cm from the soil surface were analyzed for the SOC, of which 15 analyzed also for nitrogen N content, localized in the clayey hills and limestone marine terraces of the western Sicily, cultivated with grain crops and orchards (mainly olive groves and vineyards), surveyed and analyzed in a period from 1995 to 2008. By interviews to the farmers owners of those parcels, we collected informations about the agricultural practices (tillage, fertilization, rotations, associations and soil protection measures) adopted in the period of the survey, for each of the 52 fields. The adoption of any of the agri-environmental measures promoted by the Region of Sicily was also verified. In the same study area we collected, in 2013 and 2014, samples of the first 40 cm from the soil surface, of 22 parcels cultivated with grain crops, and performed the interviews to the farmers to check the agricultural practices adopted. The samples where analyzed for SOC and N, and also for the humic and fulvic SOC fractions. An analysis of variance was performed. The results demonstrated that reduced tillage practices were the most effective in stocking SOC in soils, especially if associated with other biological farming practices promoted by the regional agri-environmental measures. In fact the SOC and C/N ratio were significantly higher with reduced tillage, associated with biological farming. Instead the SOC, and its humic and fulvic fractions, did not result significantly different comparing biological versus chemical fertilization practices alone. The N content was significantly higher with chemical fertilization.

31. Physiography of the Sicilian region (1:250,000 scale).

Abstract

Physiographic maps summarize and group the landforms of a territory into homogeneous areas in terms of kind and intensity of the main geomorphological process. These maps are often produced at semi-detailed scales, while examples at the regional scale are much less common. However, because the region is the main administrative level in Europe, physiographic maps can be very useful for land planning in many fields, such as ecological studies, risk maps, and soil mapping. This work presents a methodological example of a regional physiographic map, compiled at a 1:250,000 scale, representing the whole Sicilian region, the largest of the Mediterranean islands. The physiographic units were classified according to the geomorphological processes that were identified by stereo-interpretation of aerial photographs. In addition, information from other published maps, representing geomorphological landforms, eolian deposits, anthropic terraced slopes, and landslide were used to improve the accuracy and reliability of the map.
