Abstract:
... Carob plantations are main components of the Mediterranean landscapes, mainly located in marginal and prevailing calcareous soils. The southern countries of the European Union are largely the leading carob producer worldwide. Only Spain produces, on average, 80,000 t year(‑1) followed by Italy, Morocco, Portugal, and Greece. In some of them, this crop is very relevant from both agronomical and env ...
