The Directorate General of Rural and Forestry Development will carry out a pilot plan for adaptation to climate change in forest areas Mazarrón with the aim of contributing to the adequacy of forest systems to new weather conditions, mitigating climate change and analyze its effectiveness .
The Director General of Rural Development and Forestry, Federico García Izquierdo, today presented the plan by the mayor of Mazarrón, Alicia Jimenez.
This is a pilot project which will run on forest land adversely affected by weather conditions, particularly on 46 hectares of the Sierra del Algarrobo and 46 hectares of Mount Llanos de Ifre.
The project, with a duration of five years and an investment of one million euros, will be to prepare the soil using techniques such as hole digging, watersheds, subsolador at different depths of soil, and planting species characterized by their resistance to extreme drought and high temperatures.
It is also expected to put up techniques to reduce water loss and improve their uptake, especially during the early stages of plant growth, with mechanisms such as dew sensors and waterbox.
Federico García Izquierdo moved that the plan will be launched later this year "with the design of the performance and development of projects to adapt to climate change and plantations in experimental plots will begin in 2017".
The Ministry will carry out follow-up measures to adjust the vegetation, will study water stress to which they are subjected species, its evolution and growth, and adaptability to the seasons, between otroas aspects.
Plan to spread the social networks will be used and a website will be created, in addition to volunteer, and place information signs and signaling routes in the project area.
The effects of climate change in recent years have been observed in the region due to the drastic decrease in rainfall and the gradual variation in temperatures.
The climate dynamics has a tendency to increased temperatures, decreased frost, longer length and frequency of heat waves and reduced rainfall in the Mediterranean area and the clouds, especially in summer, and increased length of dry periods.
LEADER
