Carandell y Pericay was a distinguished geologist and geographer and a representative of Spanish environmental science. He produced over 300 publications, especially on the geology and physical geography of mountainous areas in Spain, but also
The results of geomorphic analysis of the Concud fault-generated mountain front (central Iberian Chain, Spain) are introduced into classifications of fault activity proposed by previous authors, and compared with slip rates calculated from geologic

In this study, area-specific sediment yields (SSY) have been estimated based on the volume of sediment trapped behind 36 check dams in the southeast of Spain. SSY variability could be explained for 67% by catchment characteristics such as drainage
in an orange orchard in eastern Spain on plots that contained ant nests and adjacent paired-plots without ant nests. Ant nests decreased water losses but soil erosion rates were nearly double in areas with ant activity as compared to soil with no ants
The AA. evaluate the effect of 2 olive mill wastes (olive leaves and “alperujo”) on soil properties and soil erosion in a rain fed olive grove in SE Spain. After 3 years experiment, oil mill wastes application significantly improved physical
The aim of this paper is to outline a procedure for soil block extraction, which is highly appropriate for clay soils. The method described here is rapid and cheap and has been used successfully in clay soils in southern Spain for the last 6 years
The aims of this paper are to determine the infiltration rates and their controls in a representative semiarid mountain karst area (Sierra de Gádor, SE Spain) at micro-plots and to investigate the integrated response of rainfall on a typical
The role of aridification in constraining the elevation range of Holocene solifluction processes and associated landforms in the periglacial belt of the Sierra Nevada (southern Spain)
