Summary Description

ABSTRACT: "We present an integrative conceptual framework to estimate the provision of soil erosion prevention (SEP) by combining the structural impact of soil erosion and the social–ecological processes that allow for its mitigation. The framework was tested and illustrated in the Portel municipality in Southern Portugal, a Mediterranean silvo-pastoral system that is prone to desertification and soil degradation. The results show a clear difference in the spatial and temporal distribution of the capacity for ecosystem service provision and the actual ecosystem service provision." AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "To begin assessing the contribution of SEP we need to identify the structural impact of soil erosion, that is, the erosion that would occur when vegetation is absent and therefore no ES is provided. It determines the potential soil erosion in a given place and time and is related to rainfall erosivity (that is, the erosive potential of rainfall), soil erodibility (as a characteristic of the soil type) and local topography. Although external drivers can have an effect on these variables (for example, climate change), they are less prone to be changed directly by human action. The actual ES provision reduces the total amount of structural impact, and we define the remaining impact as the ES mitigated impact. We can then define the capacity for ES provision as a key component to determine the fraction of the structural impact that is mitigated…Following the conceptual outline, we will estimate the SEP provided by vegetation cover using an adaptation of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)." | * | * | * | * |

Biophysical Context
|
Open savannah-like forest of cork (Quercus suber) and holm (Quercus ilex) oaks, with trees of different ages randomly dispersed in changing densities, and pastures in the under cover. The pastures are mostly natural in a mosaic with patches of shrubs, which differ in size and the distribution depends mainly on the grazing intensity. Shallow, poor soils are prone to erosion, especially in areas with high grazing pressure. | * | * | * | * |
