Do climate teleconnections modulate wildfire-prone conditions over the Iberian Peninsula?
(IOP Publishing, 2021-04-06)Climate teleconnections (CT) synchronize and influence weather features such as temperature, precipitation and, subsequently, drought and fuel moisture in many regions across the globe. CTs thus may be related to cycles ... -
Future trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services in Mediterranean forests under global change scenarios
(Elsevier, 2020-09-02)Mediterranean forests play a key role in providing services and goods to society, and are currently threatened by global change. We assessed the future provision of ecosystem services by Mediterranean pine forests under a ... -
Maximum height of mountain forests abruptly decreases above an elevation breakpoint
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-03-15)Canopy height is an excellent indicator of forest productivity, biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. Yet, we know little about how elevation drives canopy height in mountain areas. Here we take advantage of an ... -
Modelling Forest Ecosystems: a crossroad between scales, techniques and applications
(Elsevier, 2020-04-03) -
Assessing the accuracy of remotely sensed fire datasets across the southwestern Mediterranean Basin
(European Geosciences UnionCopernicus Publications, 2021-01-11)Recently, many remote-sensing datasets providing features of individual fire events from gridded global burned area products have been released. Although very promising, these datasets still lack a quantitative estimate ... -
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 ...
