Fire-Resilient Vegetation Systems

Mediterranean landscapes face cyclical fire events that conventional revegetation ignores. Fire-resilient systems require species selection based on recovery capacity, fuel load management, and strategic establishment patterns that reduce fire spread risk.

Dryland Slope Management

Semi-arid slopes erode differently than temperate ones — intense but brief rainfall events cause surface crusting, rill formation, and gully development. Effective management combines water harvesting, strategic vegetation placement, and erosion-resistant soil amendments.

Water-Efficient Establishment

In regions where annual rainfall falls below 400mm, conventional hydroseeding wastes resources. Water-efficient establishment uses moisture-retaining biopolymers, strategic timing around rainfall events, and species adapted to prolonged drought stress.
