A Cheap electronic sensor automated trap for monitoring the flight activity period of moths
(Institute of Entomology, 2021-10-11)Automated pheromone dispensers disrupt the mating behaviour of pest moths by releasing pheromone during their daily activity period, which is not the same for all target species. These periods usually occur in or close to ... -
3D characterization of a Boston Ivy double-skin green building facade using a LiDAR system
(Elsevier, 2021-09-02)On the way to more sustainable and resilient urban environments, the incorporation of urban green infrastructure (UGI) systems, such as green roofs and vertical greening systems, must be encouraged. Unfortunately, given ... -
A photogrammetry-based methodology to obtain accurate digital ground-truth of leafless fruit trees
(Elsevier, 2021-11-05)In recent decades, a considerable number of sensors have been developed to obtain 3D point clouds that have great potential in optimizing management in agriculture through the application of precision agriculture techniques. ... -
L'agricultura de precisió: què és i com pot ajudar l'agricultura catalana?
(Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament d’Agricultura, Ramaderia, Pesca i Alimentació, 2020-12-01) -
Bases for pesticide dose expression and adjustment in 3D crops and comparison of decision support systems
(Elsevier, 2022-02-01)Authorities around the world have committed to limiting the use of chemical pesticides by reducing doses, among other strategies. Nevertheless, different dose expression models and decision support systems (DSSs) for dose ... -
In-field apple size estimation using photogrammetry-derived 3D point clouds: Comparison of 4 different methods considering fruit occlusions
(Elsevier, 2021-07-30)In-field fruit monitoring at different growth stages provides important information for farmers. Recent advances have focused on the detection and location of fruits, although the development of accurate fruit size estimation ... -
LandTrendr smoothed spectral profiles enhance woody encroachment monitoring
(Elsevier, 2021)Secondary succession (SS) is one of the main consequences of the abandonment of agricultural and forestry practices in rural areas, causing -among other processes- woody encroachment on former pastures and croplands. In ... -
Map-based zonal dosage strategy to control yellow spider mite (Eotetranychus carpini) and leafhoppers (Empoasca vitis & Jacobiasca lybica) in vineyards
(Elsevier, 2021)The particularly high incidence of yellow spider mite and leafhoppers in southern European viticulture means that between 1 and 4 interventions are required each year for their effective control. In vineyards with spatial ... -
Spatially variable pesticide application in vineyards: Part II, field comparison of uniform and map-based variable dose treatments
(Elsevier, 2020)Reducing pesticide use is an important concern for many including the European Commission. One way to achieve this goal is to adjust the amount of pesticides in relation to canopy geometry and foliage. This objective ... -
Comparison of 3D scan matching techniques for autonomous robot navigation in urban and agricultural environments
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2021-04-23)Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is the standard solution for solving the localization problem in outdoor environments, but its signal might be lost when driving in dense urban areas or in the presence of heavy ... -
Longitudinal, transverse and ultrasound vibration for the prediction of stiffness using models incorporating features in Pinus sylvestris timber
(Springer-Verlag, 2021-04-15)Non-destructive testing was used to predict the static modulus of elasticity (MOES) of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) timber from the northeast of Spain. Three vibration tests were performed, longitudinal, flatwise and ... -
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 ... -

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 ...
