Factores que influyen en la colonización vegetal y la revegetación de taludes de carreteras en ambiente mediterráneo.

Tormo Blanes, Jaume 11 May 2007 (has links)
Actualmente la construcción de carreteras produce un grave impacto ambiental, produciéndose extensas áreas sin vegetación en forma de taludes. En ambientes mediterráneos áridos o semiáridos la restauración de la cubierta vegetal después de las obras resulta muy complicada debido a diversos factores. Tanto propios de los taludes de carreteras como debidos a las especies que se utilizan en las revegetaciones.En esta tesis doctoral se pretende estudiar la importancia relativa de diversos factores que modulan la colonización vegetal y la revegetación en taludes de carreteras. Se ha planteado que en zonas alteradas la principal limitación para la colonización es la falta semillas, pero la aplicación de estas mediante siembras no es grantia de éxito de la revegetacion. Por lo tanto existen otros factores que estan influyendo en la colonización y el éxito de los trabajos de revegetación; se estudiará la influencia de la orientación geográfica, el suelo, la disponibilidad hídrica, el método de siembra y factores relacionados con la coexistencia entre las especies. Evaluando la importancia de cada uno de estos factores y respecto a la limitación por semillas.Al mismo tiempo se pretende proponer un protocolo de selección de especies adecuadas para utilizarlas en revegetación en ambientes semiáridos. Ya que muchas veces el fallo de las revegetaciones se debe a que las especies utilizadas no son las adecuadas. Estas especies provienen de otros climas u otros habitats y no están adaptadas a las condiciones de los taludes de carreteras.Se ha llegado a las siguientes conclusiones:La falta de semillas, aunque importante, no es el principal factor que limita la colonización en taludes de carreteras. Factores relacionados con las características de los taludes o la orientación geográfica están dificultando también la colonización. Laspropiedades del suelo, el estrés hídrico y los procesos relacionados con la coexistencia entre las especies son factores determinantes para la colonización vegetal y revegetación de los taludes de carretera.La aplicación de tierra vegetal y/o de las enmiendas que acompañan a las semillas en las hidrosiembras mejora claramente el éxito de los trabajos de revegetación al mejorar algunos de los factores estudiados.El protocolo de selección de especies funciona. Las especies seleccionadas mediante el mismo producen mayores coberturas vegetales que las que se utilizan habitualmente. / Nowadays road building produces huge ecosystem alterations. Slopes produced in road building are unvegetated. In arid or semiarid mediterranean habitats revegetation after road building became a dificult task due to diverse factors. Those factors related with road slopes and with species used in revegetation.We studied the relative importance of factors influencing vegetal colonization and revegetation success in road slopes. Main limitation to colonization in altered ecosystems is lack of seeds, but sowing is not guarantee of colonization. So other factors are influencing colonization and revegetation. We studied slope aspect, soil properties, hydric stress, sowing method and factors related with species coexistence.We proposed a species selection protocol top choose suitable species for revegetation purposes in semiarid areas. Because species used normally are not adapted to mediterranean climate and road embankment conditions.ConclusionsLack of seeds is an important factor in limiting road slopes colonization. But other factors hinder road slope colonization and revegetation. Soil properties, hydric stress, and factors related with species coexistence determine natural colonization and revegetacion success.Topsoil application and/or amendments in hydroseeding improves greatly revegetation success, because improves soil properties.Species selection protocol is suitable for choose species for revegetation works. Selected species produced higher vegetal covers than species used normally.

Substrate utilisation profiling of microbial communities in sewage sludge amended soils

Burgess, S. January 2002 (has links)
The aim of this thesis was to use long-term sewage sludge application to land to determine if sludge, particularly metal-rich sludge, alters the microbial community as indicated by substrate utilisation profiles (sups), using the Biolog <sup>TM</sup> method.  An additional aim was to assess Biolog<sup>TM</sup> as a rapid method of monitoring soil health. Sludge rich in Cadmium altered microbial community profiles, but this was possibly due to differences in organic Carbon quality between sludges used in the trial.  Conditioning (incubation) of soils before analysis with Biolog<sup>TM</sup> made these effects more apparent.  Storage of soil also altered microbial activity and community profiles, which were not restored by a conditioning period.  Both incubation and storage influenced the Biolog<sup>TM</sup> response and can potentially affect available soil C. Therefore, the effects of organic matter application at high levels on the microbial community, were assessed without metals.  Low metals sludge altered microbial community function, although the trends were not consistent across soil types.  Biolog<sup>TM</sup> was more sensitive to sludge treatment effects than total microbial biomass C. The microbial community responses to sludge and preparation disturbance were examined (using Biolog<sup>TM</sup> and microbial PLFAs). A method to determine extractable carbohydrates was adapted for use in a microplate format, and was employed to assess the relationship between microbial community change and available soil C.  Changes in soil microbial community structure and function were not related to extractable carbohydrate C.  Biolog<sup>TM</sup> and PLFA responded differently:  disturbance had a greater effect on Biolog response than either application of sewage sludge or the quality of soil C;  but PLFAs were more affected by long-term sewage sludge amendment, highlighting implications for the monitoring of waste-amended soils.
