Tree Species Are Differently Impacted by Cumulative Drought Stress and Present Higher Growth Synchrony in Dry Places
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-24)The increase in frequency and intensity of droughts due to climate change might threaten forests under stress levels causing dieback and mortality episodes. Thus, deciphering how tree species from within a region respond ... -
Application of Clément's first formula to an arranged-schedule secondary canal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020-12-08)Clément's first formula was initially intended to determine discharge in on-demand pressurized irrigation networks; nevertheless, it can also be applied to canal systems because the irrigation process is similar. Discharges ... -
Colour responses of Eucalyptus grandis wood to the Brazilian process of thermal modification
(Scielo, 2018-10)A study of colour assessment, using the CIEL*a*b* system, was conducted with samples of Eucalyptus grandis wood thermally treated by the Brazilian industrial process of thermal modification, VAP HolzSysteme®, at three ... -
A general framework for quantum splines
(World Scientific Publishing Company, 2018-06-06)Quantum splines are curves in a Hilbert space or, equivalently, in the corresponding Hilbert projective space, which generalize the notion of Riemannian cubic splines to the quantum domain. In this paper, we present a ... -
A comprehensive spatial-temporal analysis of driving factors of human-caused wildfires in Spain using Geographically Weighted Logistic Regression
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Over the last decades, authorities responsible on forest fire have encouraged research on fire triggering factors, recognizing this as a critical point to achieve a greater understanding of fire occurrence patterns and ... -
Ehrenfest Statistical Dynamics in Chemistry: Study of Decoherence Effects
(American Chemical Society, 2018-06-26)In previous works, we introduced a geometric route to define our Ehrenfest statistical dynamics (ESD) and we proved that, for a simple toy model, the resulting ESD does not preserve purity. We now take a step further: we ... -
A Review of the Potential Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Options for European Viticulture
(MDPI, 2020-04-29)Viticulture and winemaking are important socioeconomic sectors in many European regions. Climate plays a vital role in the terroir of a given wine region, as it strongly controls canopy microclimate, vine growth, vine ... -
Phenological Model Intercomparison for Estimating Grapevine Budbreak Date (Vitis vinifera L.) in Europe
(MDPI, 2020-05-29)Budbreak date in grapevine is strictly dependent on temperature, and the correct simulation of its occurrence is of great interest since it may have major consequences on the final yield and quality. In this study, we ... -
Performances Evaluation of a Low-Cost Platform for High-Resolution Plant Phenotyping
(MDPI, 2020-06-02)This study aims to test the performances of a low-cost and automatic phenotyping platform, consisting of a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) commercial camera scanning objects on rotating plates and the reconstruction of main plant ... -
Estimating Stem Volume in Eucalyptus Plantations Using Airborne LiDAR: A Comparison of Area- and Individual Tree-Based Approaches
(MDPI, 2020-05-09)Forest plantations are globally important for the economy and are significant for carbon sequestration. Properly managing plantations requires accurate information about stand timber stocks. In this study, we used the area ... -
Effect of the anatomical structure, wood properties and machining conditions on surface roughness of wood
(Scielo, 2017)The main aim is to test the influence of anatomical structure (grain direction and elements size), wood hardness and machining conditions on wood surface roughness. 180 samples defect-free were obtained from beech, oak and ... -
Cost reduction in pressurized irrigation networks under a rotation schedule
(Springer Nature, 2020-07-10)Rotation scheduling implies a reduction in pipe flows and, consequently, in network cost. This kind of scheduling is considered rigid, but the recent development of new technologies, such as Supervisory Control And Data ... -
Combining aerial LiDAR and multispectral imagery to assess postfire regeneration types in a Mediterranean forest
(NRC Research Press (Canadian Science Publishing), 2015-02-26)Wildfires play a major role in driving vegetation changes and can cause important environmental and economic losses in Mediterranean forests, especially where the dominant species lacks efficient postfire regeneration ... -
Spatially variable pesticide application in vineyards: Part I, developing a geostatistical approach
(ElsevierAcademic Press, 2020-05-18)A geostatistical methodology is presented to optimise the dosage of plant protection products (PPP) in vineyards with spatial variability. Sprayers are commonly used in viticulture to apply a constant volume rate per unit ... -
Fuji-SfM dataset: A collection of annotated images and point clouds for Fuji apple detection and location using structure-from-motion photogrammetry
(Elsevier, 2020)The present dataset contains colour images acquired in a commercial Fuji apple orchard (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Fuji) to reconstruct the 3D model of 11 trees by using structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry. The data ... -
History matters: previous land use changes determine post-fire vegetation recovery in forested Mediterranean landscapes
(Elsevier, 2012-06-23)Land use changes and shifts in disturbance regimes (e.g. wildfires) are recognized worldwide as two of the major drivers of the current global change in terrestrial ecosystems. We expect that, in areas with large-scale ... -
Mixing of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) enhances structural heterogeneity, and the effect increases with water availability
(Elsevier, 2016-04-27)The mixing of tree species with complementary ecological traits may modify forest functioning regarding productivity, stability, or resilience against disturbances. This may be achieved by a higher heterogeneity in stand ... -
The role of below-ground competition during early stages of secondary succession: the case of 3-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings in an abandoned grassland
(Springer Nature, 2006-02-18)In abandoned or extensively managed grasslands, the mechanisms involved in pioneer tree species success are not fully explained. Resource competition among plants and microclimate modifications have been emphasised as ... -
Climate change could negate positive tree diversity effects on forest productivity: a study across five climate types in Spain and Canada
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-17)A positive relationship between tree diversity and forest productivity is reported for many forested biomes of the world. However, whether tree diversity is able to increase the stability of forest growth to changes in ... -
Valuing acorn dispersal and resprouting capacity ecological functions to ensure Mediterranean forest resilience after fire
(Springer Nature, 2011-08-21)Ecological processes within forests provide vital ecosystem services to society, most of which depend on the persistence of tree cover that can be altered after the impact of a disturbance. The aim of the present study was ...
