Climate factors drive the local adaptation of Old World cattle

iMeta, EarlyView.
Climate adaptation genomics of cattle. We comparatively analyzed genomic data from 85 Old World cattle breeds/populations of Eurasia and Africa to identify genetic factors associated with climate factors. Environmental genome‐wide association studies revealed 3165 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with strong correlations between climate factors ...

Reference crop evapotranspiration derived from geo-stationary satellite imagery: a case study for the Fogera flood plain, NW-Ethiopia and the Jordan Valley, Jordan [PDF]

First results are shown of a project aiming to estimate daily values of reference crop evapotranspiration ET0 from geo-stationary satellite imagery. In particular, for Woreta, a site in the Ethiopian highland at an elevation of about 1800 m, we tested a ...

Validation of remotely-sensed evapotranspiration and NDWI using ground measurements at Riverlands, South Africa [PDF]

, 2014
Quantification of the water cycle components is key to managing water resources. Remote sensing techniques and products have recently been developed for the estimation of water balance variables. The objective of this study was to test the reliability of

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...

Reference crop evapotranspiration database in Spain (1961–2014) [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2019
Abstract. Obtaining climate grids describing distinct variables is important for developing better climate studies. These grids are also useful products for other researchers and end users. The atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) may be measured in terms of the reference evapotranspiration (ETo), a key variable for understanding water and energy ...

Yield, Evapotranspiration, Production Functions, Crop Coefficients, Water Productivity and Soil‐Water Extraction of Three Watermelon Varieties

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While watermelon is an important commodity in the United States and worldwide, some of the fundamental watermelon productivity indices (crop evapotranspiration [ETc], transpiration [Tr], evaporation [E], ET‐yield production functions [ETYPF], basal crop coefficients [Kcb], crop water productivity [CWP], soil‐water extraction [SWE]) have not ...

How Will Hydroelectric Power Generation Develop under Climate Change Scenarios? [PDF]

, 2011
Climate change has a large impact on water resources and thus on hydropower. Hydroelectric power generation is closely linked to the regional hydrological situation of a watershed and reacts sensitively to changes in water quantity and seasonality.

Prediction Accuracy for Projectwide Evapotranspiration Using Crop Coefficients and Reference Evapotranspiration

Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 2005
The Imperial Irrigation District is a large irrigation project in the western United States having a unique hydrogeologic structure such that only small amounts of deep percolation leave the project directly as subsurface flows. This structure is conducive to relatively accurate application of a surface water balance to the district, enabling the ...
