| Evaluating the demand for carbon sequestration in olive grove soils as a strategy toward mitigating climate change | Estimation of the economic value of carbon sequestration in olive grove soils derived from the implementation of different agricultural management systems. Carbon sequestration is considered jointly with other environmental co-benefits, such as enhanced erosion prevention and increased biodiversity. | Cover Crops and No-Tillage in an Olive Grove (Andalusia, Spain) |
| Curve number values for olive orchards under different soil management | A physically based runoff model for olive orchards at a hillslope scale was used to generate rainfall†“runoff relationships for different scenarios of soil type (four), tree size (two), tree spacing (two), antecedent soil moisture (three), and soil management (11) for a 140-m-long and 5% steep hillslope. | Cover Crops and No-Tillage in an Olive Grove (Andalusia, Spain) |

| Medidas beneficiosas para las aves ligadas a medios agrícola - Sugerencias para su diseño y aplicación en NATURA 2000, en el marco de la programación de desarrollo rural 2007-2013 | Para avanzar en la línea marcada por las directrices europeas de desarrollo rural respecto a la conservación de la biodiversidad, lo más idóneo hubiera sido establecer desde la base, en el Plan Estratégico nacional, los sistemas prioritarios para la conservación ligados a medios agrícolas en España, orientando la elaboración de los programas regionales de desarrollo rural, y garantizando así la preservación de estos agrosistemas en el conjunto del territorio. En opinión de SEO/BirdLife, en lo que se refiere a biodiversidad de la avifauna, estos sistemas prioritarios serían las zonas pseudoesteparias de agricultura de secano, los pastizales, las dehesas y los arrozales costeros. | Cover Crops and No-Tillage in an Olive Grove (Andalusia, Spain) |

| Green potential of a constructed wetland with reed bed filters on a 172 ha urban project near Reims (France). Project evolution analysis | A 172 ha town planning project has been developed near Reims (France) for the last five years. For one of the catchments of this area (72ha) a 15 000 m3 detention pond is being built, in a difficult hydrogeological context since ground water level may rise up to the natural ground. The characteristics of this detention pond have drastically changed along the design process: the first hypothesis were based upon a deep concrete tank, but a constructed wetland has finally been chosen. This paper deals with the constructed wetland characteristics itself on the ecological point of view (deepness, shape...). It also points the design process that allowed such an evolution, thanks to both the designer proposals and the public authority requirements | Constructed wetland with reed bed filters near Reims, France |

| KÖRÖS-ÉRI BELVíZFÅCSATORNA MEDERFEJLESZTÉSE ÉS REKONSTRUKCIÓJA Riverbed development and reconstruction of the Körös-stream drainage channel. “ Feasibility study | Upgrade of the stream†™s water management structures to be able to cope with both water extremes: floods and water shortage. Reconnecting former floodplains at the estuary on a 2500 meter section. Upgrade of the sluices to be able to retain water and the cleaning of the flow bottlenecks to facilitate runoff at flood events. At the settlement section of the stream the development targeted to provide the necessary capacity to drain the residential area. Upstream of the settlement retention pond were created to control runoff through the town and store water. | Multi-purpose water management development along the Körös-ér, Hungary |
| Application of the water erosion prediction project (WEPP) in olive orchards on Vertic soil with different management conditions | The WEPP model was evaluated using monthly runoff and erosion data collected from an experiment in an olive orchard on a Vertic soil during four hydrological years, comparing three different soil management systems: no tillage with bare soil (NT), conventional tillage (CT), and cover crop (CC). These three systems differed greatly in average annual runoff and soil losses. | Cover Crops and No-Tillage in an Olive Grove (Andalusia, Spain) |

| Integrated Management Plan of The Natural Park Comana | Parcul Natural Comana infiintat prin Hotararea de Guvern nr. 2151 din decembrie 2004 este situat in zona de sud a Romaniei, la distanta aproximativ egala intre Bucuresti si Giurgiu. Decizia de constituire a parcului a fost adoptata in baza documentatiei tehnice si stiintifice elaborate inca din anul 1954 de catre Academia Romana in vederea delimitarii si protejarii a doua arii de importanta floristica deosebita, respectiv Rezervatia Stiintifica de ghimpe (Ruscus aculeatus) si Rezervatia Stiintifica de bujor (Paeonia peregrina). Acestor doua rezervatii li s-a adaugat incepand din anul 2004 Balta Comana, ca rezervatie naturala si zona de protectie avifaunistica. | Restoration on Comana wetlands, Romania |

| Ecological restoration in Czech Republic | The main objectives of the mire restoration programme were: (i)restoration of natural (or near-natural) mire hydrology; (ii) enhancement of peat-forming vegetation and processes, (iii) conservation of natural mire biodiversity; and (iv) involvement of the public into local mire conservation. Regarding hydrology, the aim of the restoration was to raise the water table to a natural (pre-drainage) level, decrease the /uctuations, and retain su1cient water in the mires especially during the driest periods. |

| Kretinga Special plan and Stormwater Treatment, Akmena-Dane, Lithuania, Report 4.3.3. | †¢ This is the first time that this type of ecological adapted stormwater investments have been implemented in Lithuania. If they function as well as predicted and can be disseminated through appropriate channels, there should be good possibilities to introduce similar investments in other Lithuanian towns. †¢ The stormwater Special Plan developed introduces a new approach towards more sustainable stormwater solution from an environmental perspective. A next step would be to introduce likewise Special Plans in other towns/cities in the south Baltic Sea area. If more towns would follow the example by Kretinga this could, in a long term, have a significant positive impact of decreasing harmful substances to the Baltic Sea. |

| The role of ancillary benefits on the value of agricultural soils carbon sequestration programmes: Evidence from a latent class approach to Andalusian olive groves. | The research assesses society's willingness to pay using a discrete choice analysis for a soil management programme in Andalusian olive groves identifying different groups based on preference heterogeneity. The results show that soil carbon sequestration in olive groves provides net social value and can be a cheap and cost-effective way of combating climate change. | Cover Crops and No-Tillage in an Olive Grove (Andalusia, Spain) |
