The green and blue water footprint of paper products: methodological considerations and quantification [PDF]
, 2010 For a hardcopy of this report, printed in the Netherlands, an estimated 200 litres of water have been used. Water is required during different stages in the production process, from growing wood to processing pulp into the final consumer product. Most of

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its

Crop Evapotranspiration and Water Use Efficiency
, 2012 The efficient use of water in any sector of human activity has become an increasingly important need in our daily lives, especially in arid and / or semi-arid regions where water resources have become increasingly scarce. In irrigated agriculture this concern becomes more relevant because globally, water for agriculture is the primary user of diverted ...

Evapotranspiration and remote sensing [PDF]
There are three things required for evapotranspiration to occur: (1) energy (580 cal/gm) for the change of phase of the water; (2) a source of the water, i.e., adequate soil moisture in the surface layer or in the root zone of the plant; and (3) a sink ...

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.

Actual evapotranspiration and the pattern of soil water extraction of a soybean (Glycine max) crop
Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, 2019 Crop evapotranspiration knowledge during different phenological stages helps determine crop water requirements and water use efficiency. This study was intended to estimate evapotranspiration of soybean grown under field conditions using the water ...

The legacy of past droughts induces water‐sparingly behaviour in Grüner Veltliner grapevines
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Grapevines with a drought history showed increased water use efficiency in a non‐water‐limited season, in coordination with morpho‐anatomical modifications of leaf, xylem anatomy and stomata, suggesting significant drought legacies. Abstract Drought is becoming more frequent and severe in numerous wine‐growing regions.

Positive mixture effects in pine–oak forests during drought are context‐dependent
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Mixture effects in drought‐stressed pine‐oak forests are context‐dependent, with Gambel oak and ponderosa pine benefiting from their complementarity under semi‐arid conditions. Abstract The increasing severity and frequency of droughts will play a pivotal role in shaping future forest ecosystems worldwide.
