Optimisation of crop rotations: A case study for corn growing practices in forest-steppe of Ukraine [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Water and Land Development, 2023
The formation of optimal crop rotations is virtually unsolvable from the standpoint of the classical methodology of experimental research. Here, we deal with a mathematical model based on expert estimates of “predecessor-crop” pairs’ efficiency created ...

Strategic importance of green water in international crop trade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Virtual water is the volume of water used to produce a commodity or service. By importing agricultural commodities and the virtual water embedded in them, a country saves the water it would have required to produce those commodities domestically. Virtual-

Acclimation of the Grapevine Vitis vinifera L. cv. Assyrtiko to Water Deficit: Coordination of Structural and Functional Leaf Traits and the Dynamic of Calcium Oxalate Crystals

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Grapevine leaves contain abundant CaOx crystals located either within the mesophyll in the form of raphides, or in the bundle sheaths as druses. CaOx crystals function as internal carbon pools providing CO2 for a baseline level of photosynthesis, named ...
