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 ... -
Combined use of remote sensing and soil sensors to detect variability in orchards with previous changes in land use and landforms: consequences for management
(The Animal Consortium, 2017-07-16)The present work investigated the application of detailed airborne images and a resistivity soil sensor (Veris 3100) to detect soil and crop spatial variability to assist in orchard management. The research was carried out ... -
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 ... -
Combining innovative mulches and soil conditioners in mountain afforestation with ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) in the Pyrenees (NE Spain)
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2018)Aim of study: To assess the effectiveness for improving early seedling performance of the individual and combined application of (i) various doses of an innovative soil conditioner including polyacrylamide-free super-absorbent ... -
Comparing efficiency of different sampling schemes to estimate yield and quality parameters in fruit orchards
(The Animal Consortium, 2017-07-16)Different sampling schemes were tested to estimate yield (kg/tree), fruit firmness (kg) and the refractometric index (°Baumé) in a peach orchard. In contrast to simple random sampling (SRS), the use of auxiliary information ... -
Comparison between standard and drift reducing nozzles for pesticide application in citrus: Part I. Effects on wind tunnel and field spray drift
(Elsevier, 2017)The objective of this study was to evaluate and to compare spray drift potential and field spray drift from pesticide application in citrus orchards carried out mainly comparing standard nozzles with drift reducing nozzles. ... -
Comparison between standard and drift reducing nozzles for pesticide application in citrus: Part II. Effects on canopy spray distribution, control efficacy of Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell), beneficial parasitoids and pesticide residues on fruit
(Elsevier, 2017)Venturi nozzles are often recommended to reduce drift, which is one of the major pollution sources caused by the application of plant protection products on high growing crops. The coarse droplets produced by this type of ... -
Competition for water between beech seedlings and surrounding vegetation in different light and vegetation composition conditions
(Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA)EDP Sciences, 2003)To gain a better understanding of beech growth requirements and assess the competition with the surrounding vegetation at two successional stages after agricultural land abandonment, we introduced two-year-old beech seedlings ... -
Comprendiento la geolocalización y navegación y su uso en Agricultura de Precisión
(New Ag International SARL, 2017-04-01)Se dice que el GPS gatilló la Agricultura de Precisión (PA), permitiendo que se generaran los primeros mapas de rendimiento. Esto puede que sea preciso o no, pero lo que es cierto es que los sistemas de geoposicionamiento ... -
Connectivity conservation priorities for individual patches evaluated in the present landscape: how durable and effective are they in the long term?
(Wiley, 2015)One of the most widespread approaches for setting spatially-explicit priorities for connectivity conservation consists in evaluating the effects of the individual removal of each habitat patch (one at a time) from the ... -
Consideraciones acerca de los límites de aplicación del método del número de Curva del Soil Conservation Service
(Colegios y Asociaciones de Ingenieros de Montes e Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, 2001)En el presente artículo se revisan las limitaciones de aplicación del método del Número de Curva del Soil Conservation Service, modelo conceptual ampliamente difundido para el cálculo de la escorrentía originada por una ... -
Contrasting patterns of tree species mixture effects on wood δ13C along an environmental gradient
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-06)Establishing mixed-species stands is frequently proposed as a strategy to adapt forests to the increasing risk of water scarcity, yet contrasted results have been reported regarding mixing effects on tree drought exposure. ... -
Corrección de cauces torrenciales
(Colegio de Ingenieros Técnicos de Obras Públicas (Madrid), 1997)Las cuencas torrenciales presentan una respuesta hidrológica caracterizada por avenidas súbitas y violentas, que transportan grandes cantidades de material sólido, pudiendo afectar gravemente a las infraestructuras de áreas ... -
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 ... -
Coupling a water balance model with forest inventory data to predict drought stress: the role of forest structural changes vs. climate changes
(Elsevier, 2015-07-09)Mechanistic water balance models can be used to predict soil moisture dynamics and drought stress in individual forest stands. Predicting current and future levels of plant drought stress is important not only at the local ... -
