Efficiency of Spatial Subsidies Under Information Constraints: A Case Study

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study compares the efficiency of homogeneous versus spatially heterogeneous subsidies in developing agricultural plans compatible with bird sustainability. Using the plains of Lleida as a case study—where incentives for agricultural intensification threaten a bird community‐we employ a spatially explicit model that simulates crop yields ...

Top-kriging - geostatistics on stream networks [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2006
We present Top-kriging, or topological kriging, as a method for estimating streamflow-related variables in ungauged catchments. It takes both the area and the nested nature of catchments into account.

Context‐aware UAV LiDAR reveals forest structure and improves tree diameter estimates in subalpine forest

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
In this study we show how, in natural forests, tree heights adapt across environmental gradients as a response to environmental and biotic factors. Awareness of such local adaptations can be encoded into predictive features and leveraged by shallow learning methods to enhance predictions of tree diameter and tree‐level aboveground biomass.

The Epidemiology of Sickle Cell Disease in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Current Knowledge and Gaps to be Filled

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue S1, Page 5-16, April 2026.
What are the available data on incidence & prevalence prognosis risk factors of severity of sickle cell disease in sub‐Saharan Africa? ABSTRACT Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is highly prevalent in sub‐Saharan Africa. Epidemiological data remain sparse, but regional screening and research initiatives are expanding.

A Guide to Bayesian Optimization in Bioprocess Engineering

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 4, Page 805-830, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bayesian optimization has become widely popular across various experimental sciences due to its favorable attributes: it can handle noisy data, perform well with relatively small data sets, and provide adaptive suggestions for sequential experimentation.

Geoestatística no estudo de modelagem temporal da precipitação Geostatistics in the temporal modeling study of precipitation

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2011
A análise geoestatística é uma poderosa ferramenta utilizada em estudos de dependência espacial. No que tange à dependência temporal, poucas são as análises realizadas com essa metodologia.

Terrain forms and spatial variability of soil properties in an area cultivatedwith citrus Formas do relevo e variabilidade espacial de propriedades do solo em área cultivada com citros

open access: yesEngenharia Agrícola, 2011
The technique of precision agriculture and soil-landscape allows delimiting areas for localized management, allowing a localized application of agricultural inputs and thereby may contribute to preservation of natural resources.

Bayesian hierarchical models for analysing the spatial distribution of bioclimatic indices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A methodological approach for modelling the spatial distribution of bioclimatic indices is proposed in this paper. The value of the bioclimatic index is modelled with a hierarchical Bayesian model that incorporates both structured and unstructured random

Spatio-temporal variability of erosivity in Mato Grosso, Brazil

open access: yesRevista Ambiente & Água, 2018
The impact of rainfall on surfaces lacking vegetal cover can dissociate soil particles, thereby initiating the erosion process. This is known as rainfall erosivity and is expressed by the R factor in the Universal Soil Loss Equation.
