Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Reference Evapotranspiration Prediction for Smart Irrigation

International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2020
Irrigation is the most critical process for agriculture, but irrigation is the largest consumer of fresh water and causes the loss of large quantities because of the inaccuracy in crop water estimation. Our proposed system aims to improve irrigation management by estimating the amount of water needed by the crop accurately and reduces the number of ...

Effect of saline irrigation on Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze grown on different soil types under greenhouse conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change and population growth are major challenges for sustainable food production, particularly in regions affected by water scarcity and soil salinization. In this context, halophytes represent promising candidates as alternative and sustainable food crops for salt‐affected areas.

Shoot water content and reference evapotranspiration for determination of crop evapotranspiration

African Crop Science Journal, 2017
Determination of water requirement for crops in resource limited areas is  challenging, yet worsened by the common assumption that all crop varieties within a species have similar water requirements. The objective of the study was to  indirectly determine crop evapotranspiration of soybean varieties, using reference evapotranspiration and shoot water ...

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Modelling of last hypothesis of climate change impacts on water resources in Sierra de las Cabras aquifer (Southern Spain) [PDF]

, 2015
Having models that reflect the reality of a system operation becomes critical to the effec-tive management of water resources in a watershed, especially considering the different scenes of climate change predicted for the Mediterranean regions by the ...

Predicting long‐term population viability for an imperiled salamander under future climate changes

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated the long‐term viability of 2 reticulated flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) populations in response to multiple future climate change scenarios. We found that there is a high probability of extinction by 2100 under some scenarios, mostly driven by severe droughts and repeated reproductive failure. Conservation actions should focus on

Quantifying the Distribution of Evapotranspiration at PV and APV Sites Using Soil Moisture

AgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
Solar panels affect the distribution of water and energy reaching the ground causing changes in soil moisture, evapotranspiration and percolation. In the context of Agri-Photovoltaics those changes influence plant growth and yield as well as irrigation ...

Multi-temporal evaluation of soil moisture and land surface temperature dynamics using in situ and satellite observations [PDF]

, 2016
Soil moisture (SM) is an important component of the Earth’s surface water balance and by extension the energy balance, regulating the land surface temperature (LST) and evapotranspiration (ET). Nowadays, there are two missions dedicated to monitoring the
