Comments:

A pesar de los vientos que afectan actualmente la zona se debe considerar que las barreras vivas sirven como barrera rompeviento, aunque al momento de la siembra el material vegetativo es susceptible para un establecimiento seguro.

In the land user's point of view, is there a threshold (in view of frequency and/ or severity of the gradual climate changes or climate-related extremes), which leads to the failure of the Technology?

no

No

3.1 Land degradation types and related sensitivity of the Technology

Table 1: Reassessment of land degradation types listed in QT Core 3.7

Gradual climate change/ climate-related extreme (disaster)	Land degradation type addressed by the Technology listed in QT Core 3.7	Sensitivity of the Technology to land degradation type	Specify/ comments
other gradual climate change	Wt: loss of topsoil/ surface erosion	neutral	No hay perdida de suelo por erosión hídrica
other gradual climate change	Pu: loss of bio-productive function due to other activities	neutral	La escasez de lluvia afecta la actividad biológica de los microorganismos en el suelo.
other gradual climate change	Bq: quantity/ biomass decline	neutral	Por la seguía se reducen las obras culturales de regulación de sombra y por ende se reduce el aporte de biomasa.
