Land use driven change in soil pH affects microbial carbon cycling processes

Nature Communications, 2018
Land use intensification could modify microbial activity and thus ecosystem function. Here, Malik et al. sample microbes and carbon-related functions across a land use gradient, demonstrating that microbial biomass and carbon use efficiency are reduced ...

Surface Energy Flux Estimation in Two Boreal Settings in Alaska Using a Thermal-Based Remote Sensing Model

Remote Sensing, 2020
Recent Arctic warming has led to changes in the hydrological cycle. Circum-Arctic and circumboreal ecosystems are showing evidence of “greening” and “browning” due to temperature warming leading to shrub encroachment, tree mortality and deciduousness ...

Hydrological Drought Index Insurance for Irrigated Agriculture [PDF]

, 2017
Los riesgos de escasez de agua en sistemas de regadío son importantes en los países semi-áridos y es probable que aumenten debido al cambio climático. De ahí deriva el interés en ofrecer a los agricultores la posibilidad de proteger la estabilidad de los ingresos de las explotaciones de regadío frente a este riesgo.

Modeling of hydrological processes in arid agricultural regions [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2015
Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, and include groundwater dynamics, unsaturated zone flow, evaporation ...

Spatial modeling for detection of water retention capacity in technosols developed on carboniferous spoil heap after hard coal mining

Ecological Informatics
Post-industrial areas, such as heaps, are an Anthropocene pressure on the environment but show natural potential for new ecosystem services, i.e., water retention, biodiversity, and C-sequestration.

Agricultural watershed modeling: a review for hydrology and soil erosion processes

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2016
Models have been used by man for thousands of years to control his environment in a favorable way to better human living conditions. The use of hydrologic models has been a widely effective tool in order to support decision makers dealing with watersheds
