Estudio de restauración para la recuperación de suelo de secano improductivos, aplicado en el cantón Cayambe provincia de Pichincha.

Abstract

Abstract:The proposal for the restoration study emerged in 2018 in response to a growing problem in Pichincha province: the increase in unproductive rain-fed lands, a consequence of anthropogenic and natural threats affecting the productive landscape. Given this scenario, two fundamental questions arise: How can the rain-fed soils of the high-Andean ecosystem be restored? And what soil management techniques ensure their sustainability? These questions guide the formulation of objectives and the development of a critical hypothesis: Is the implementation of soil and water conservation techniques without considering the biota as a primary component of analysis sufficient for the recovery of these soils? .
