The objectives of the present experimental study are: (i) to compare different tillage practices in olive orchards, as tillage is known to affect soil erosion rates; (ii) to test the use of a vetch cover crop in a vineyard compared to no vetch, with vetch being a nitrogen fixing cover crop; (iii) to compare the erosion rates as well as other soil quality parameters between a field that has remained an orange grove for 45 years and one that was converted to an avocado farm 20 years ago.
