Production of primary biomass and sequestration of carbon with a high water efficiency : the comparative advantages of DMC cropping systems technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Whatever the cropping system adopted, bioclimatic conditions as sun radiation, temperature and rainfall, (spatial and temporal variability ) are soundly affecting crop photosynthetic activity and biomass production.

Fuzzy postprocessing of seasonal climate forecasts for semiarid river basins

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Meteorological forecasts from AI‐based fuzzy rule‐based system (FRB) are compared to linear scaling (LS) and quantile mapping (QM). Seasonal forecasts from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) are considered. Results show that the highest skill is achieved for the FRB approach.

VARIwise: a general-purpose adaptive control simulation framework for spatially and temporally varied irrigation at sub-field scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Irrigation control strategies may be used to improve the site-specific irrigation of cotton via lateral move and centre pivot irrigation machines. A simulation framework ‘VARIwise’ has been created to aid the development, evaluation and management of ...

Climate‐Resilient Crop Production Under Agrivoltaics: Experimental Evaluation of Amaranth Production With Semi‐Transparent Photovoltaic Modules in Canada Under Changing Climates

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change threatens global food security, requiring climate‐smart systems that enhance both crop resilience and sustainable energy production. While agrivoltaics is recognized for combining solar power generation with agriculture, its effects on emerging stress‐tolerant crops such as amaranth remain largely unexplored, particularly under ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Calculation and Simulation of Evapotranspiration of Applied Water

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
The University of California, Davis and the California Department of Water Resources have developed a weather generator application program “SIMETAW” to simulate weather data from climatic records and to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and ...
