Crop production for the Sierra Nevada National Park

by Ricardo Moreno-Llorca

Crop production resulted as the most relevant ecosystem services for Sierra Nevada after conducting a focus-group with local managers. Taking this into account, we quantified the amount of different crop types in Sierra Nevada based on land use and land cover maps. Then we analysed the average crop yield from official statistics for five reference years over a 10-year period for all types of crops, both on irrigated and dry land. The calculation ...(continue reading)

Crop production resulted as the most relevant ecosystem services for Sierra Nevada after conducting a focus-group with local managers. Taking this into account, we quantified the amount of different crop types in Sierra Nevada based on land use and land cover maps. Then we analysed the average crop yield from official statistics for five reference years over a 10-year period for all types of crops, both on irrigated and dry land. The calculation of yields by crop, area and type of farming (dry and irrigated) was validated by conducting group interviews. Finally, we calculated the total crop production per year (kg/ha/year) in 30 m × 30 m grid cell.

The method of production of the original data.
Hover to see a suggestion for a minimum description. In order to identify the most relevant ecosystem services in terms of both supply and demand of Sierra Nevada, we organized a focus-group with local managers. The focus-group had the participation of 10 managers. During the focus-group, managers were invited to participate in a questionnaire-based survey. From this questionnaire, crop production resulted as the most relevant ecosystem services, among others.

Based on this result, we quantified the amount of different crop types in the study area from land use and land cover maps for each reference year: 1956, 1977, 1984, 1999 and 2007. Then we analysed the average crop yield from official statistics over a 10-year period for all types of crops, both on irrigated and dry land. To do so, three different regions were distinguished in the study area, given differences in their aspect (north, southeast and southwest), types of human management, and levels of water availability. The calculation of yields by crop, area and type of farming (dry and irrigated) was validated by conducting group interviews with the whole governmental agricultural staff in each area (three technicians in the north, two in the southeast and three in the southwest area). Finally, for each 30 m × 30 m cell, the total crop production per year (kg/ha/year) was calculated.
