ASSESSMENT BY RESTORATION UNITS V.3. FUNCTIONS & PROCESSES 1. Are there significant amounts of dead wood present in varying stages of decomposition?  - Snags - Down logs Not significant 2. Average organic horizon thickness (cm): 1  3. Soil surface conditions: Bare soil (%): 15  Degree of soil sealing/crusting: None - Slight - Moderate - Severe Presence of significant patchy or continuous biological crust? No 4. Erosion/accumulation type None - Sheet erosion - Rill erosion - Gully erosion - Badlands - Accumulation - Wind erosion/deposition - Others:   5. Erosion/accumulation intensity Nil - Slight - Medium - Moderate - Severe - Extreme 6. Stand dynamics Succesional dynamics measured or observed 1º 2º 3º 4º 5º a.- Since the project implementation: shrubland  Quercus suber forest        b.- Of non-restored reference area nearby during the same period:  shrubland          7. Did any relevant disturbance, such as fire, severe drought/frost, floods, pollution event, etc, affect the restored unit since project implementation? - Yes No - Partly If yes, please indicate the disturbance regime and regeneration pattern(s):    8. Disturbance regime Disturbance type/s Date/s (year/s) --- --- 9. Regeneration pattern following the disturbance Autosuccesion Relevant composition change Relevant land degradation Describe regeneration pattern --- --- --- --- 10. Any available data on stand productivity/carbon sequestration? Describe:
