Operational and environmental barriers to centralized composting in two small Brazilian municipalities: A longitudinal study

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Municipal solid waste management in small cities faces severe logistical and financial barriers regarding organic fraction treatment. This study evaluates biological selective collection in two small Brazilian municipalities (Astorga and Sabáudia), comparing dynamics between gated communities (GC) and public thoroughfares (PT) over an annual ...

Understanding root-zone soil moisture in agricultural regions of Central Mexico using the ensemble Kalman filter, satellite-derived information, and the THEXMEX-18 dataset

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2022
An Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF)-based assimilation algorithm was implemented to estimate root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) using a Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) model during a complete growing season of corn in Central Mexico.

Construction and Application of a Novel C‐Vine Copula‐Based Multi‐Variate Ecological Drought Index

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive ecological drought index capturing vegetation growth conditions and meteorological–hydrological variability is essential for assessing ecological drought and optimizing water resource management. This study selected soil moisture (SM), actual evapotranspiration (ET), land surface temperature (LST) and leaf area index (LAI) to ...

Assessing the impact of soil moisture-temperature coupling on temperature extremes over the Indian region [PDF]

, 2022
While previous model sensitivity studies have mainly focused on discerning the soil moisture-precipitation feedback processes over the Indian region, the present study investigates the impact of soil moisture-temperature (SM-T) coupling on the ...

Temporal and Spatial Comparison of Agricultural Drought Indices from Moderate Resolution Satellite Soil Moisture Data over Northwest Spain

Remote Sensing, 2017
During the last decade, a variety of agricultural drought indices have been developed using soil moisture (SM), or any of its surrogates, as the primary drought indicator. In this study, a comprehensive study of four innovative SM-based indices, the Soil

Space-time modeling of soil moisture: Stochastic rainfall forcing with heterogeneous vegetation [PDF]

, 2006
The present paper complements that of Isham et al. (2005), who introduced a space-time soil moisture model driven by stochastic space-time rainfall forcing with homogeneous vegetation and in the absence of topographical landscape effects.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Synoptic Patterns of Dry‐Hot Winds (Sukhoviys) in Ukraine

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyses dry‐hot winds, or sukhoviys, a recurrent phenomenon during the warm season across Ukraine that contributes to rapid moisture loss from soil and vegetation. The activity of sukhoviy events was assessed using the introduced Sukhoviy Station Index, accounting for their meteorological characteristics and frequency of occurrence.
