Potencials of sap flow evaluation by means of acoustic emission measurements

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2011
The work deals with measurement techniques of water conducting system in the trees. Water conducting system (including xylem and phloem) indicates its importance for related physiological processes. There are still problems how to measure its functioning

Managing Sustainability Data Proactively: Corporate Sustainability Reporting (Directive) as a Driver

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability has become a key priority for firms, and the increasing number of mandatory regulations only heightens its importance. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) introduces stringent non‐financial disclosure requirements, significantly expanding the scope and breadth of reporting, particularly for those operating in

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

A novel sap flow system to measure maize transpiration using a heat pulse method

Agricultural Water Management
Finding ways to irrigate more efficiently is crucial for long term agricultural sustainability around the globe. Assessing plant water consumption using sap flow gauges (SFG) can quantify irrigation water requirements and identify ways to improve ...

Calibrated heat-pulse method for the assessment of maize water uptake Desenvolvimento do método do "pulso de calor" para determinação da absorção hídrica em milho

Scientia Agricola, 2000
Plant water requirements are important aspects of crop production to be determined in the field, in order to judiciously manage crop water usage. Water uptake by field grown maize (Zea mays L.), under well-watered conditions was verified with the heat ...

No Remedy: Injustice and Constrained Citizenship in Indonesia's Plantation Zone

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This contribution to the special issue examines a constrained version of citizenship in Indonesia's plantation zone. When corporations take hold of village land, residents experience devastating dispossession and a profound sense of injustice, yet they lack effective channels through which to claim rights as citizens or secure remedy from the ...

Sap-flow velocity reduction by soil water deficit observed in a Lithocarpus edulis forest on Kyushu Island, Japan

Sap-flow velocity reduction by soil water deficit observed in a Lithocarpus edulis forest on Kyushu Island, Japan
This paper examines transpiration reduction due to soil water deficits observed in a Lithocarpus edulis forest on Kyushu Island, south-western Japan. Continuous sap flow measurements were performed on six trees to monitor changes in tree transpiration rates.

An unsupervised machine learning approach to iron meteorite classification

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron meteorites are usually classified manually using bivariate elemental plots. This study extends iron meteorite classification into multi‐element space. We present a computational method for the classification of iron meteorites by applying unsupervised machine learning using density‐based cluster analysis.

Flow rate of transport network controls uniform metabolite supply to tissue

, 2018
Life and functioning of higher organisms depends on the continuous supply of metabolites to tissues and organs. What are the requirements on the transport network pervading a tissue to provide a uniform supply of nutrients, minerals, or hormones?
