Earthworm community and soil microstructure changes with long-term organic fertilization
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-24)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sludge compost (SC) in two rates and pig slurry (PS) on soil quality, in the framework of a field experiment (19-year-old) in a Mediterranean rainfed system. The treatments ... -
Assessing ranked set sampling and ancillary data to improve fruit load estimates in peach orchards
(Elsevier, 2019-08-08)Fruit load estimation at plot level before harvest is a key issue in fruit growing. To face this challenge, two sampling methods to estimate fruit load in a peach tree orchard were compared: simple random sampling (SRS) ... -
Propiedad de la tierra y desigualdad social en el mundo rural catalán de mediados del siglo XIX
(Universidad de Murcia, 2014)El análisis de la distribución de la propiedad de la tierra –y de las consecuencias sociales de ésta– entraña dificultades heurísticas y metodológicas importantes que suelen limitar la posibilidad de establecer comparaciones ... -
Effect of N dose on soil GHG emissions from a drip-fertigated olive (OleaeuropaeaL.) orchard
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-04-22)Agronomic practices may mitigate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from crops. Appropriate nitrogen (N) and irrigation management provide the potential to reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions. However, there ... -
Fertilización con purín porcino: impacto sobre las lombrices de tierra en agricultura de secano
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Asunción, 2019-06-01)Earthworms play an important role in the maintenance of soil ecosystem services. Their presence and activity are influenced by agricultural practices as fertilization. The objective of this research was to identify earthworm ... -
Soil water dynamics in a rainfed mediterranean agricultural system
(MDPI, 2019-04-17)Rainfed Mediterranean agriculture is characterized by low water input and by soil water content below its field capacity during most of the year. However, erratic rainfall distribution can lead to deep drainage. The ... -
Evaluación numérico-experimental del comportamiento histérico del coeficiente de rugosidad de los macrófitos
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2018)La problemática asociada al crecimiento masivo de macrófitos en el Bajo Ebro ha llevado a autoridades y gestores a examinar la posibilidad de paliar los efectos negativos que producen sobre el sistema hídrico, y los usos ... -
Numerical parametric study of a hotspot-targeted microfluidic cooling array for microelectronics
(Elsevier, 2018-11-05)Thermal management in integrated chips is one of the major challenges on micro- and nanoelectronics. The rise of power density raised the need for microchannel liquid cooling solutions. This technology has poor temperature ... -
Transport of sediment borne contaminants in a Mediterranean river during a high flow event
(Elsevier, 2018)Pollutants' dynamics in rivers flowing through industrial areas is linked to the entrainment and transport of contaminants attached to solid particles. The transport of sediment is mainly associated to high discharges and ... -
Stratified sampling in fruit orchards using cluster-based ancillary information maps: a comparative analysis to improve yield and quality estimates
(Springer, 2019-03-25)Estimation of yield or other fruit quality parameter is of great interest to farmers to decide on management actions just before harvesting and, in any case, to anticipate and plan harvesting operations. Making accurate ... -
Remote Sensing Monitoring of a Coastal-Valley Earthflow in Northwestern Galicia, Spain
(Elsevier, 2019-03-26)Historical air photographs, LiDAR, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were used to record the movement, from 1956 to 2018, of a clay and clast earthflow in a coastal valley in northwestern Spain. Two procedures were ... -
Impact of the self-adaptive valve behavior on an array of microfluidic cells under unsteady and non-uniform heat load distributions
(Regional Information Center for Science and Technology, 2019)Previous studies have demonstrated that the performance of a cooling scheme based on a matrix of microfluidic cells with self-adaptive valves under unsteady and non-uniform heat load scenarios improves in terms of pumping ... -
Accuracy assessment of digital terrain model dataset sources for hydrogeomorphological modelling in small Mediterranean catchments
(MDPI, 2018)Digital terrain models (DTMs) are a fundamental source of information in Earth sciences. DTM-based studies, however, can contain remarkable biases if limitations and inaccuracies in these models are disregarded. In this ... -
Multi-temporal analysis of sediment yield caused by hydric erosion in a basin of the Anoia-Penedès vineyard region (NE Spain)
(Universidad de La Rioja, 2012)The aim of the present work was to analyse the multitemporal variability of sediment yield in an agro-forestry system of the Penedès region (NE Spain). In this area high erodible soil parent materials, frequent high intensity ... -
