Reconstruction of historical soil surfaces and estimation of soil erosion rates with mound measurements and UAV photogrammetry in Mediterranean olive groves

oil water erosion is one of the most important environmental problems for the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves on hillsides. Governments and public agencies recognize the need to control this process in order to improve soil conservation, especially in vulnerable areas. In the present st...

Governments and public agencies recognize the need to control this process in order to improve soil conservation, especially in vulnerable areas. In the present study, a simple, inexpensive method using Structure-from-motion (SfM) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology was applied to quantify the soil loss rates provoked by water erosion and tillage in mountain olive groves, according to a reconstruction of their historical surface features. Specifically, the main study aims were: i) to quantify the historical soil loss in olive groves, by analysing residual tree mounds; ii) to consider how soil relief and management can influence the erosion process; iii) to determine the degree to which the proposed method achieves the above aims. Analysis revealed a mean erosion rate in the study area of 127.69 t ha−1 years−1, with a linear relationship between soil truncation and slope (R2 = 0.64, p < 0.001). The highest soil loss rates (-1.67 ± 0.48 m) occurred in areas where the slopes were steepest (22.36 ± 4.46 %) and the longitudinal profile rectilinear. Erosion rates are determined not only by the slope, but also by its position and distance from the tree mound. This study highlights the need for differential management based on slope-feature considerations, in order to limit soil losses. Overall, the tool presented to support decision making provides an effective method for calculating erosion rates.This research has been funded by the OAPN under grant 2924S/2022, by the AEI under grants TED2021-130031B-I00 and PID2020-437 113229RBC43/AEI/https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 and by the University of Malaga by grant B.1 of its own Research and Transfer Plan (B1-2022_19)Peer reviewedElsevierLima, FranciscoBlanco-Sepúlveda, Rafael {0000-0001-6537-4482]Calle, Mikel [0000-0003-1590-6772]Andújar, Dionisio [0000-0002-5801-0944]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202420242023info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/368755reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
