Melatonin Mitigates Salt Stress in Wheat Seedlings by Modulating Polyamine Metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Melatonin, a small molecular weight indoleamine molecule, is involved in various biological processes and responses to environmental cues in plants. However, its function in abiotic stress response and the underlying mechanisms is less clear.

Comparative Evaluation of the Rainfall Erosivity in the Rieti Province, Central Italy, Using Empirical Formulas and a Stochastic Rainfall Generator

open access: yesHydrology, 2021
Soil erosion caused by intense rainfall events is one of the major problems affecting agricultural and forest ecosystems. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is probably the most adopted approach for rainfall erosivity estimation, but in order to be ...

Establishing soil loss tolerance: an overview

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2016
Soil loss tolerance is a criterion for establishing if a soil is potentially subjected to erosion risk, productivity loss and if a river presents downstream over-sedimentation or other off-site effects are present at basin scale.

Tolerable versus actual soil erosion rates in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Erosion is a major threat to soil resources in Europe, and may impair their ability to deliver a range of ecosystem goods and services. This is reflected by the European Commission's Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection, which recommends an indicator ...

Water Erosion in Oxisols under Coffee Cultivation

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2018
Water erosion is one of the main environmental impacts of land use. When soil and water losses occur, nutrients essential for the growth and maintenance of plants are removed, with harmful outcomes on the sustainability of agriculture and the environment.

Tracking Wind Deposits on Fluvisols in a Citrus Orchard in Southeast Spain: A Test in Real Time

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
We used wind-transported particle collectors of our own inhouse design to monitor the sediment flow in a citrus orchard in Southeast Spain. These collectors, which can differentiate sediment collected by direction of origin, are very efficient ...
