Synopsis (short abstract) Al inicio del proyecto, no se disponía de información relativa a los impactos espe-cífi cos que el cambio climático podría originar en los sistemas de producción silvoa-gropecuaria. El Gobierno de Chile se había enfocado en comprender los impactos del cambio climático en las zonas con vocación agrícola, desestimando la zona austral. En Magallanes, se prevé que el aumento de temperatura provocado por el cambio climá-tico conlleve benefi cios en la producción agrícola. Sin embargo, también las nueva s condiciones del clima podrían incrementar los riesgos actuales, por intensifi cación de vientos y veranos más secos, o generar nuevos riesgos por los impactos indirectos asocia-dos al aumento de temperatura y cambios de precipitación (por ejemplo, aumento de la erosión e incidencia de especies invasoras). Se requería subsanar la falta de informa-ción sobre la climatología local y acrecentar las capacidades locales de los productores agrícolas y de las instituciones para la adaptación de los sis temas de producción, me-diante un instrumento de planifi cación que organice las medidas para la transformación productiva del sector.

    Status of the World's Soil Resources: Main Report 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.

    The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

    Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
    Also available in:
    Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.

    Forests: nature-based solutions for water
    No. 251. Vol. 70 2019/1
    2019
    Also available in:
    Water – drinkable, usable water – is likely to be one of the most limiting resources in the future, given the growing global population, the high water demand of most agricultural production systems, and the confounding effects of climate change. We need to manage water wisely – efficiently, cost-effectively and equitably – if we are to avoid the calamity of a lack of usable water supply. Forested watersheds provide an estimated 75 percent of the world’s accessible freshwater resources, on which more than half the Earth’s people depend for domestic, agricultural, industrial and environmental purposes. Forests therefore, are vital natural infrastructure, and their management can provide “nature-based solutions” for a range of water-related societal challenges. This edition of Unasylva explores that potential.
