The Carbon Emission Trading Policy of China: Does It Really Boost the Environmental Upgrading?
(MDPI, 2022)China’s rapid industrialization has led to massive resource consumption, and the country has recently been highlighted as the World’s top carbon emitter. To pursue a sustainable economy via environmental upgrading, ... -
Les dejeccions ramaderes modifiquen els porus del sòl, la bas del seu funcionament
(IRTA, 2019-09-17)El tipus de porositat determina, entre altres, la retenció d'humitat (aigua per les plantes) del sòl. Aportar matèria orgànica influeix en l'activitat biològica (micro-organismes, micro- i meso-fauna, ...) que s'hi ... -
Remote sensing imaging as a tool to support mulberry cultivation for silk production
(MDPI, 2022)In recent decades there has been an increasing use of remotely sensed data for precision agricultural purposes. Sericulture, the activity of rearing silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) larvae to produce silk in the form of cocoons, ... -
Pedology of archaeological stone-wall bench terraces
(Elsevier, 2022)Agricultural terraces are the most widespread archaeological landforms worldwide. Despite their far-reaching prevalence in many inhabited parts of the world, archaeological soils in terraces (hereafter ‘terrace soils’) are ... -
Remote sensing for monitoring the impacts of agroforestry practices and precipitation changes in particle size export trends
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)Recent land use changes, the absence of soil protection between crop periods, and extreme precipitation events have been highlighted as major influential factors in the fluctuations of sediment export in the last decades ... -
Quantification of gypsum in soils: methodological proposal
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)Gypsum is widely found in soils under arid and semi-arid climates due to its semi-soluble nature. In spite of that, they are less known than other soils, and this has generated some misunderstandings in some initial ... -
The influence of olive tree fertilization on the phenols in virgin olive oils. A review
(Consejo Superior Investigaciones Científicas-CSIC, 2022)The total phenols in virgin olive oil are highly dependent on cultivar, but also on ripening stage and other agronomic factors. The focus of most studies on agronomic factors has been irrigation, while ... -
Effects of long-term sewage sludge application to a calcareous soil structure
(Wiley, 2022)Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This has prompted calls for less use of mineral fertilizer and greater reliance on organic fertilizers. However, we need to understand better the long-term effects of organic fertilizer ... -
The Solstice Fire Festivals in the Pyrenees: Constructing a Didactic Programme for Formal Education along with the Educational and Bearer Communities
(MDPI, 2022)In 2015, UNESCO inscribed the summer solstice fire festivals in the Pyrenees on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. A few years later, a didactic programme was launched to incorporate ... -
Human-environmental interactions and seismic activity in a Late Bronze to Early Iron Age settlement center in the southeastern Caucasus
(Frontiers Media, 2022)Long-term human-environmental interactions in naturally fragile drylands are a focus of geomorphological and geoarchaeological research. Furthermore, many dryland societies were also affected by seismic activity. The ... -
Household photovoltaic systems optimization methodology based on graph theory reliability
(Elsevier, 2022)A novel passive strategy to overcome the inconveniences of possible failure or underperformance of the components of a household scale photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed. The developed methodology is based on network ... -
Photovoltaic/thermal systems based on concentrating and non-concentrating technologies: Working fluids at low, medium and high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2021)The present article provides an overview about photovoltaic/thermal systems categorised by the temperature of the working fluid: Low-temperature (lower than 60º C), medium-temperature (between 60 and 90º C) and ... -
Do badlands (always) control sediment yield? Evidence from a small intermittent catchment
(Elsevier, 2021)The objective of this paper is to analyse the production and the yield of fine sediment in a small mountain catchment (10 km2), characterised by patches of badlands (25% of the catchment area) and drained by intermitten ... -
Source areas of the Eastern Ebro Valley loess (NE Iberian Peninsula): heavy mineral composition as a provenance indicator
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022)Loess deposits of the Eastern Ebro Valley (NE Iberian Peninsula) occupy an area of 2000 km2 mostly on the east of the Ebro depression and locally in the Mora Basin. We studied 38 samples of loess and 47 samples of ... -
Design and characterization of an OPV-ETFE multi-layer semi-transparent glazing
(Elsevier, 2022)Architectural glazing has several advantages in terms of aesthetics and user well-being perspectives. However, they can have large impacts on heating and cooling demands and artificial lighting requirements. Ethylene ... -
Assessment of different N treatments in Hedgerow Almond Orchards by means of LiDAR point clouds
(2022)Monitoring of canopy status in fruit tree orchards allows better decisions in the canopy management, such as pruning or fertirrigation. LiDAR is an effective tool to acquire accurate 3D geometric and structural data, ... -
