Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: Land Management–Based Strategies Within a Nature‐Based Solutions Framework

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...

Reference evapotranspiration of screenhouse‐grown crops

Actas del III Workshop en Investigación Agroalimentaria. WiA 3.1
The reference evapotranspiration Eref was measured under three screenhouses and compared to outside Eref. The reduction with respect to outside Eref was quantified by means of two factors, rad and adv. rad was found to depend linearly on transmittance (), and adv on wind ratio (). A model was proposed for screenhouse Eref based on

An ecophysiological approach to crop losses exemplified in the system wheat, leaf rust, and glume blotch

, 1975
The motive of the author to embark upon the research reported here was the need to develop new concepts to approach the problem of crop losses, and eventually the problem of their prevention by means of disease control and plant breeding.

A Field Guide for Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Olive Orchards Across Mediterranean Conditions for End‐Users and Stakeholders

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion control poses a crucial challenge to the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves. To facilitate field‐level decision‐making, we have developed a field guide oriented to use in any type of olive orchard across the Mediterranean.

Harnessing microbial power to degrade hydrocarbon‐based plastics

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing global plastic waste crisis demands the development of urgent, effective, and sustainable solutions. While conventional recycling methods present intrinsic limitations, microbial biodegradation of plastic waste has emerged as a promising alternative.

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Measuring evapotranspiration of hardy ornamental nursery stock: a hurdle for irrigation management

, 2013
Although the land area dedicated to the production of hardy ornamental nursery stock (HONS) is relatively small, the sector places considerable demands on water supplies: production is largely in pots with limited water-holding capacity, and therefore ...

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.
