Bochet, E. García-Fayos, P. Molina, M. J. Espigares, T. Nicolau, J. M. Moreno-de-las-Heras, Mariano Monleón, Vicente Moreno-de-las-Heras, Mariano [0000-0003-3366-5060] Trabajo presentado en la American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, celebrado en New Orleans (Estados Unidos) del 10 al 15 de diciembre de 2017 Theoretical models predict that drylands are particularly prone to suffer critical transitions with abrupt non-linear changes in their structure and functions as a result of the existing complex interactions between climatic fluctuations and human disturbances. How drylands undergo functional change has become an important issue in ecology which needs empirical data to validate theoretical models. We aim at determining the response of Mediterranean holm oak woodlands to human disturbance in three different climatic areas from Eastern Spain, under the hypothesis that semiarid and dry-transition landscapes are more prone to suffer abrupt functional changes than sub-humid ones. We used (a) remote-sensing estimations of precipitation-use-efficiency (PUE) from enhanced vegetation index (EVI) observations performed in 231 x 231 m plots of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS); (b) soil parameter (enzyme activity, organic matter) and (c) vegetation parameter (functional groups) determinations from soil sampling and vegetation surveys, respectively, performed in the same plots. We analyzed and compared the shape of the functional change (in terms of PUE, soil and vegetation parameters) in response to human disturbance intensity for our holm oak sites in the three climatic areas. Although no threshold of abrupt change is observed, important differences in the functional response of holm oak woodlands to disturbance exist between climatic conditions. Overall, semiarid and dry-transition woodlands suffer a non-linear functional decrease in terms of PUE, soil organic matter and enzyme activity with disturbance intensity. Differently, sub-humid woodlands experience a linear decrease of PUE with disturbance intensity and an increase of both soil parameters at high disturbance intensities after an important decrease at low disturbance intensities. The structural change from woody- to herbaceous-dominated landscapes in sub-humid areas explains the recovery of the functional state of the system at high disturbance intensities. This structural change in the vegetation provides resilience to sub-humid woodlands at high intensity levels where semiarid and dry-transition woodlands suffer a pronounced degradation.
