Assessment of soil erosion in olive orchards (Olea europaea L.) under cover crops management systems in the tropical region of Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In the tropics, water erosion is one of the most important factors leading to the degradation and deterioration of agricultural land. Olive orchards have a low canopy coverage, especially during the first years after planting, due to the low density of ...

Water Losses During Technical Snow Production: Results From Field Experiments

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Alpine as well as Nordic skiing tourism strongly depend on the production of machine-made snow for the timely opening of the winter season. However, it is likely that sublimation, evaporation, wind drift, and the discharge of unfrozen water to the ground

Excessive application of chemical fertilizer and organophosphorus pesticides induced total phosphorus loss from planting causing surface water eutrophication

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Total phosphorus (TP) loss from planting was one of the resources causing agricultural non-point source pollution. It is significant to clarify the factors influencing TP loss, as well as explore the relationship between TP loss from planting and surface

Perdas de solo e água e qualidade do escoamento superficial associadas à erosão entre sulcos em área cultivada sob semeadura direta e submetida às adubações mineral e orgânica Soil and water loss and quality of surface runoff associated with interrill erosion in no-tillage area treated with chemical and organic fertilizers

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2007
Dos métodos de preparo conservacionista do solo, o de semeadura direta é o mais eficaz na redução da perda de solo por erosão hídrica pluvial; entretanto, apresenta comportamento variável no que diz respeito à redução da perda de água. Considerando esses

Water loss from terrestrial planets orbiting ultracool dwarfs: implications for the planets of TRAPPIST-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ultracool dwarfs (UCD) encompass the population of extremely low mass stars (later than M6-type) and brown dwarfs. Because UCDs cool monotonically, their habitable zone (HZ) sweeps inward in time.

Cutaneous Water Loss in Reptiles [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1966
Cutaneous and respiratory evaporation were compared in five species of reptiles at 23°C. There seemed to be a clear correlation between water loss and aridity of the animal's habitat, total evaporation from the desert lizard Sauromalus obesus being about 5 percent of that from the crocodilian Caiman ...

Preharvest Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment Delays Leaf Senescence of Chinese Flowering Cabbage During Storage by Reducing Water Loss and Activating Antioxidant Defense System

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Leaf yellowing, an indicator of senescence, reduces commercial value of Chinese flowering cabbage after harvest. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a dual role in mediating plant stress responses, but it is not clear whether and how it affects leaf ...

Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Xanthan gum is commonly used in drilling fluids to provide viscosity, solid suspension, and fluid-loss control. However, it is sensitive to high temperatures and not tolerant of field contaminants. This paper presents an experimental study on the effects
