Automating Sustainability: How Climate Action Unlocks the ESG Potential of Industrial Robotics

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of Industry 4.0 and global sustainability goals presents a critical paradox: while automation drives efficiency, its net impact on comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance remains contested. This study investigates the relationship between industrial robot and country‐level ESG performance across 63

Estimation of Actual Evapotranspiration, Water productivity, and Irrigation Efficiency of Wheat Fields in Surface and Sprinkler Irrigation Systems Using Remote Sensing

علوم آب و خاک, 2022
In arid and semi-arid regions, water resource management and optimization of applying irrigation water are particularly important. For optimization of applying irrigation water, the estimated values of actual evapotranspiration are necessary for avoiding

Phylogenetic structure of conifers in regional floras in relation to climate and environmental heterogeneity worldwide

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite having only about 670 species worldwide, conifers are one of the ecologically and economically most important plant groups. They have a rich fossil record and previous studies have shown that their current diversity is the result of past radiations, extinction, and dispersal events, restricting many genera to either the Northern or Southern ...

Controlling factors of ‘Caatinga’ and sugarcane evapotranspiration in the Sub-middle São Francisco Valley

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
In the Sub-middle São Francisco Valley, the main controlling factors of ‘Caatinga’ and irrigated sugarcane ETr were investigated in this study. Between 2015 and 2016, environmental variables were measured by sensors coupled to two micrometeorological ...

Turning Water to Wine: An Analysis of Texas Wine Industry Water Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Texas wine industry is expanding in scale and reputation during a period when sustainability concerns are increasingly visible and valuable to grape growers and wine producers in Texas. Most vineyard hectarage in Texas is in the High Plains and Hill Country American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which rely on regional aquifers for water. With

Applicability of three complementary relationship models for estimating actual evapotranspiration in urban area

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2015
The characteristics of evapotranspiration estimated by the complementary relationship actual evapotranspiration (CRAE), the advection-aridity (AA), and the modified advection-aridity (MAA) models were investigated in six pairs of rural and urban areas of

Impact of potential and (scintillometer-based) actual evapotranspiration estimates on the performance of a lumped rainfall–runoff model [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a key role in hydrological impact studies and operational flood forecasting models as ET represents a loss of water from a catchment.
