Still, the impacts of irrigation schemes on the functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are poorly understood. Here we assess the effects of irrigation agriculture on breakdown of coarse organic matter in soil and water. We measured breakdown rates of alder and holm oak leaves, and of poplar sticks in terrestrial and aquatic sites following a gradient of increasing irrigation agriculture in a semi-arid Mediterranean basin transformed into irrigation agriculture in 50% of its surface. Spatial patterns of stick breakdown paralleled those of leaf breakdown. In soil, stick breakdown rates were extremely low in non-irrigated sites (0.0001-0.0003day-1), and increased with the intensity of agriculture (0.0018-0.0044day-1). In water, stick breakdown rates ranged from 0.0005 to 0.001day-1, and increased with the area of the basin subject to irrigation agriculture. Results showed that irrigation agriculture affects functioning of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, accelerating decomposition of organic matter, especially in soil. These changes can have important consequences for global carbon budgets. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2013.06.049 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/90022 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2013.06.049 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2013.06.049 issn: 0304-3894 e-issn: 1873-3336 |
