Abandono rural en la Zona Este de Mendoza
Drylands are characterized by scarce, infrequent and irregular rainfall; a high thermal amplitude between day and night; and soils with little organic matter and insufficient water.

Drylands are characterized by scarce, infrequent and irregular rainfall; a high thermal amplitude between day and night; and soils with little organic matter and insufficient water. The limited and seasonal availability of water resources, coupled with low primary productivity and poor soils, make these ecosystems inherently fragile. In this way, climatic variations and unsustainable human activities can trigger processes of degradation, known as desertification. Considering the impact that these processes can have on the welfare of the local community, it is urgent to design sustainable management measures that reverse these effects. When the implementation of such measures is no longer feasible, restoration measures must be applied. In particular, productive restoration refers to the recovery of some elements of the structure and function of the original ecosystem, together with a sustainable production that generates economic goods for the local population. Considering that water is a limiting factor in drylands, agricultural production in these regions depends on different irrigation systems, which transform arid ecosystems into irrigated cultivable areas known as "oases". A problem that has not been thoroughly approached by academia, but it is common to all Mendoza's oases, is the phenomenon of crop abandonment. Despite years of gaining land from the desert and the costly installation of productive infrastructure, farmers are forced to stop cultivating and look for alternative livelihoods. In some cases, desertification leads to the over-exploitation of land and its abandonment. On other occasions, rural abandonment, determined by biophysical or socio-economic causes, triggers processes of land degradation. In any case, it is essential to know the causes of abandonment, the level of degradation of these lands and the feasibility of reversing these processes through the implementation of productive restoration measures. In this sense, the general objective of this line of research is to generate tools to avoid rural abandonment and promote the recovery of abandoned agricultural plots in the Eastern Zone of the Northern Oasis of the province of Mendoza. Las tierras secas se caracterizan por presentar precipitaciones escasas, poco frecuentes e irregulares; una gran amplitud térmica entre el día y la noche; y suelos con poca materia orgánica e insuficiente agua. La disponibilidad limitada y estacional del recurso hídrico, sumada a la baja productividad primaria y el suelo poco desarrollado, determinan que estos ecosistemas sean inherentemente frágiles. De esta manera, variaciones climáticas y actividades humanas no sustentables pueden desencadenar procesos de degradación, conocidos como desertificación. Considerando el impacto que estos procesos pueden tener en el bienestar de la población local, resulta urgente proponer medidas de manejo sustentable que permitan revertir estos efectos. En los casos en los que ya no es factible la implementación de dichas medidas, deben establecerse medidas de restauración. En particular, la restauración productiva hace referencia a la recuperación de algunos elementos de la estructura y función del ecosistema original, junto con una producción sustentable que genere bienes económicos para la población local. Considerando que el recurso hídrico es un factor limitante en las tierras secas, la producción agrícola de estas regiones depende de distintos sistemas de riego, los cuales transforman los ecosistemas áridos en áreas irrigadas cultivables conocidas como "oasis". Una problemática poco abordada desde el sector académico, pero común a todos los oasis mendocinos, es el fenómeno del abandono de cultivos. Pese a años de ganancia de terrenos al desierto y una costosa instalación de infraestructura productiva, los agricultores se ven forzados a dejar de cultivar y buscar alternativas de subsistencia. En algunos casos, es la desertificación la que conduce a la sobre-explotación de la tierra y a su abandono. En otras oportunidades, es el abandono rural, determinado por causas bio-físicas o socio-económicas, el que desencadena procesos de degradación de tierras. En cualquier caso, resulta fundamental conocer las causas del abandono, el nivel de degradación de estas tierras y la factibilidad de revertir dichos procesos mediante la implementación de medidas de restauración productiva. En este sentido, el objetivo general de esta línea de investigación es generar herramientas para evitar el abandono rural y promover la recuperación de parcelas agrícolas abandonadas en la Zona Este del Oasis Norte de la provincia de Mendoza. |
