Semiarid thermo-Mediterranean shrubland
Livestock (Coats and sheeps); marginal agriculture (almond trees, olive trees), terraces with pines (recent reforestations, 30 years old)
low plant cover, sealed soil surface, erosion signs (rills, small channels, surface runoff)
Restoration actions: 1) Improve seedling quality by means of specific protocols of n nursery culture, acclimation to drought, big size forestry trays, moderated fertilization, containers which favours root development. 2) Site preparation: Big planting holes (0.60x0.60x0.60 m), Low density of plants, addition of composted sewage sludge, treeshelters and mesh, water harvesting techniques (microcatchments)
