In agricultural landscapes, their aesthetic, ecological, and cultural dimensions are clearly integrated, creating a link between the cultural ecosystem services they provide to society and other ecosystem services, including biodiversity preservation. In …

This publication describes the progress made by IFAPA in remote sensing modeling of water flows and vegetation cover in dehesa forests. The different sections of the document detail the results obtained in estimating the tree cover fraction, water …

This publication describes a series of advances made at IFAPA to integrate information from remote sensing into the management of extensive grazing in dehesa systems. To achieve this, data provided by these sensors, primarily onboard satellites and …

The purpose of this publication is to present the most important technical aspects that define tree pruning in the dehesa, as well as the limitations and precautions that must be taken into account when carrying out its implementation. Unit 1 presents the …

This document reviews the main factors, both internal and external to the tree, that affect acorn production in the dehesa. This document summarizes the talk given at the 9th Iberian Pork Conference, organized by ASAJA Córdoba on April 6, 2016, in …

This manual covers the basics of sheep production in the dehesa, the minimum facilities required for proper management, feeding based on pasture availability in the dehesa, reproductive management, health, hygiene, and animal welfare aspects, and reviews …

This manual is intended as a reference tool for identifying erosion risks in pastureland farms and recommends actions to address them where possible. Specifically, the manual outlines good soil management practices and devotes a chapter to the control of …

The acorn plays a fundamental role in the dehesa (pasture) because it is obtained in a season when there are few resources available in the countryside, and its high energy value makes it highly valued for fattening and maintaining livestock and game. …

The Dehesa or pastureland system is a livestock agroecosystem comprised of two basic components: the tree (usually Quercus sp.) and the vegetation cover (grass and scrubland). Extensive livestock farming (cattle, sheep, and Iberian pigs) takes advantage …

Root rot caused by the pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. has been identified as one of the most damaging and lethal diseases affecting Quercus trees worldwide. In Andalusia, its presence has been confirmed through laboratory analysis in a significant …

Root rot affecting Quercus, caused by soil-borne pathogens such as Phytophthora cinnamomi or Pythium spiculum, is responsible for many deaths of holm oaks and cork oaks in dehesas. Calcium fertilization is a tool for integrated disease control. This paper …
