  abstract = {{T}he soils of the {M}editerranean {B}asin are the products of soil processes that have been governed by a unique convergence of highly differentiated natural and anthropogenic drivers. {T}hese soils are expected to be dramatically affected by future climate and societal changes. {T}hese changes imply that suitable adaptive management strategies for these resources cannot simply be transposed from experiments that are performed in other regions of the world. {F}ollowing a framework that considers the chain of "drivers-soil process-soil capital-ecosystem services/disservices," the paper review the research undertaken in the {M}editerranean area on three types of {M}editerranean soil degradation than can be expected under global change: (i) soil losses due to the increase of drought and torrential rainfall; (ii) soil salinization due the increase of droughts, irrigation, and sea level; and (iii) soil carbon stock depletion with the increase of temperature and droughts. {T}he possible strategies for mitigating each of these degradations have been largely addressed and are still studied in current research projects. {T}hey should include changes in agricultural practices, soil water management, and vegetal material. {A}s a pre-requisite for the site-specific adaptations of such mitigation strategies within viable {M}editerranean agrosystems, it is highlighted that methodological advances are necessary in integrated assessment of agricultural systems and in finer resolution soil mapping.},
