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 ... -
Modelling Forest Ecosystems: a crossroad between scales, techniques and applications

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 ...
