摘要

In the mountainous areas of Eastern Spain, soils have been cultivated in terraced orchards for centuries, although in the last decades, almond orchards are being abandoned. For this study, we selected four locations in SE Spain, with a similar vegetation mosaic, constituting forest, almond tree orchards, and orchards abandoned between 10 to 15 years previous to sampling. The main objective was to investigate the effects of changes in land use from forest to agricultural and posterior land abandonment on various physical, chemical, and biochemical properties. In all locations, all properties showed the highest values in forest soils, excepting pH and some eco-physiological ratios which were lowest under this land use. Abandoned agricultural soils showed a slight recovery in some properties compared to agricultural soils, the biochemical properties being the most sensitive indicators in reflecting these changes. All these results indicate that after land abandonment, soil microorganisms are more active as a consequence of the increment in the vegetation cover, with higher inputs as litter and root exudates. Moreover, the stopping of tillage may also have favored the increments in microbial biomass and activity. Nonetheless, these values are still low compared to forest soils, reflecting that 10-15 years of abandonment is not long enough to achieve a significant recovery in soil properties under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions. The metabolic quotient (qCO2) showed no general pattern in all locations in terms of land use, suggesting that this ratio is not specific enough to be used as an indicator in ecosystem succession.
