Consequently, it is crucial to seek solutions to environmental problems not only through technical or legislative means, but also by considering the psychological aspects. Within the context of soil degradation problems, our understanding of the psychological factors that drive farmers’ adoption of soil conservation practices is still in its nascent stages. Although previous studies have endeavored to incorporate concepts and theories from the field of environmental psychology to explore the determinants of soil conservation behavior, a comprehensive theory elucidating soil conservation behavior remains elusive. Thus, the present proposal aims to advance our understanding of this critical subject by examining the psychological determinants that influence soil conservation behavior among farmers. Main concepts 1) Soil conservation behavior: The extent to which farmers adopt sustainable practices to minimize soil degradation. 2) Soil science knowledge: The level of understanding farmers possess regarding soil properties and management practices. 3) Connection to soil: The emotional bond farmers develop with the land they cultivate. Methodology: To ensure the generalizability of our findings, we will conduct our study in geographically and culturally diverse regions of Chile. The project will consist of two research lines, each focusing on specific objectives. The first research line will include a cross-sectional study, whereas the second research line will include an experimental longitudinal study. Surveys will serve as the primary data collection method. The target population will comprise farmers who hold decision-making responsibilities regarding soil management on their farms. For the experimental longitudinal study, in addition to the intervention group, the present project will also include a control group of small farmers who will not receive the classes on soil management practices. We already developed scales in our preliminary study to measure farmers' soil science knowledge, connection to soil, and soil conservation behavior. These scales demonstrated validity, with self-reported behaviors showing statistically significant correlations with observed behaviors. We will consider farmers' soil conservation behaviors across multiple domains to capture their overall propensity for soil preservation. Expected results: 1) Investigation of the relationships between soil science knowledge, connection to soil, and soil conservation behavior among farmers. 2) Examination of the mediating role of connection to soil in the relationship between prosocial propensity and soil conservation behavior. 3) Evaluation of the effect of ethnic group on connection to soil and soil conservation behavior among farmers. 4) Assessment of the effect of gender on connection to soil and soil conservation behavior among farmers. 5) Examination of the importance of connection to soil in the adoption of organic farming. 6) Evaluation of the impact of soil management classes delivered by soil professionals to small farmers on their knowledge of soil science, connection to soil, and soil conservation behavior.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

Given that the Andean Puna (>3,000 masl) was an outstanding ecological megapatch that concentrated similar resources throughout the Andes, it was an attractive migratory route. This paved the way for the establishment of a unique Altiplano socio-ecological system, which later became the cradle of more complex cultural developments. Stable resources, temperate climate and relatively easy movements along the coastline has made the Pacific coast an even stronger candidate to explain early human dispersal and the construction of long-term cultural niche. In contrast, the Intermediate Depression in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert, between the Pacific coast and the Andes has not been perceived as a sufficiently productive enough ecosystem to support early human settling and dispersion. Theoretically, it has been assumed that it was used as an area of complementary resources for both coastal and Andean hunter-gatherer societies. In this proposal, we expect to show that this traditional view is incorrect and propose that the Intermediate Depression was not just an area of complementary resources and a barrier for human dispersal. On the contrary, we aim to provide new data showing how this region facilitated local settling and the expansion of H. sapiens into different ecosystems of South America, as it acted as an interglacial ecological refuge. Moreover, we propose that, despite an almost complete lack of rainfall, the Pampa del Tamarugal (PdT) was a much more productive and complex ecosystem during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition than today. Well-dated early residential areas, along with certain geomorphological and hydroclimatic features such as high watertable, mild temperatures and relatively warm winters generated extensive and diverse wetlands, creating some enclaves of the PdT very attractive compared to other regions. One of our main goals is to find these places, and ecologically and culturally characterize them. Conversely, we will investigate the potential of this basin as a glacial refuge a self-contained ecosystem that harbored many species of plants and animals that today occur at higher elevations, and uniquely suited to sustain small populations of hunter-gatherers that moved into the region, who then adopted and transformed this environment into their home. In this context, this proposal aims to research and understand how human societies developed long-term residential systems in a former ecological refuge withing this hyperarid desert. By describing and analyzing the dynamically productive environmental conditions of the PdT, we will address three major research problems: (a) the development of long-term residential systems, which gave rise to a conspicuous Intermediate Depression or pampa socio-ecological system, (b) the emergence of the PdT as a glacial refuge during the last glacial-interglacial transition; and (c) the coevolution and interdependence of the natural and cultural systems that ended with the disappearance of the pampa socio-ecological system and concomitant sequential extinction and extirpation of its biodiversity. The corollary of this process was that at the beginning of the Holocene, when the availability of water became insufficient, an exodus took place that must have had profound consequences for these groups, who had to abandon this landscape that they co-created for almost 2,000 years. Consequently, unlike the Andes or the Pacific coast, this early socio-ecological system did not continue into the Holocene. The lack of high quality and publicly available archaeological, paleoecological and paleontological datasets has weakened the general theoretical debate on early human migrations, settlement and the development of local socio-ecological systems. Here, we conceive human societies as part of the natural ecosystems on which they depend for their subsistence using a socio-ecological approach to analyze and understand the relationship and mutual influence between humans and what we consider nature today. This does not mean that early hunter-gatherers did not exploit or overexploit natural resources, but that they viewed them as social beings and heavily sanction overexploitation when it occurs or try to avoid it, for example through the implementation of taboos. Our project proposes the novel hypothesis that the Intermediate Depression offered sufficient conditions and resources for the development of a residential system and a unique pampa cultural tradition. Our view contrasts with the idea that the settlement pattern of the terminal Pleistocene hunter-gatherers would have been highly mobile and short-lived. The second novelty of this research is the composite methodology, that integrates different disciplinary methods such as: stable isotope analyses including Sr (to search for regional human mobility); paleogenomics to improve the resolution of morphological bone and plant taxa determination; geochronological dating, involving OSL and U/Th techniques to expand our chronologies; and technomorphological characterization of lithic, bone, wooden and textile artifacts, through complete chaîne opératoire methodology, pedological studies for soil horizon description. In sum, our major goal is to understand a different migration route and settlement system for the early peopling of the western slope of the Andes, by defining and explaining the characteristics of the residential systems developed in the PdT during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, and the local ecologies associated to them. Our data will contribute towards resolving an old problem: the colonization of South America through the study of what is likely one of the best preserved and mostly unaltered sets of early American sites in all South America.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

Debido a esto, los fertilizantes químicos se han utilizado extensamente, a menudo en exceso, lo que genera múltiples problemas. Esto hace que la sostenibilidad agrícola a mediano y largo plazo dependa de la implementación de alternativas más accesibles y ecológicamente seguras. La productividad agrícola mundial se enfrenta a dificultades debido a tensiones humanas, abióticas y ambientales causadas por el cambio climático. Este proyecto busca resolver estos desafíos mediante el estudio de estrategias sostenibles para mejorar la eficiencia en la producción de maíz en el centro-sur de Chile. El proyecto propone evaluar el impacto de estas estrategias en la absorción y removilización de nutrientes, la sanidad vegetal, así como en el rendimiento y calidad del maíz. En Chile, el maíz desempeña un papel vital en la agricultura, tanto en la alimentación humana como animal. Se prevé que los resultados de esta investigación impulsen una producción de maíz más sostenible y resistente ante los retos ambientales y económicos actuales en la región centro-sur de Chile.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
