A daily high-resolution gridded climatic data set is presented for Emilia-Romagna, Italy, covering the period 1961–2010. Time series of precipitation and temperatures, from 254 60 locations, respectively, were first checked quality, temporal homogeneity synchronicity, then interpolated on a grid. For temperature, best-performing detrending procedure was used, followed by interpolation regression residuals means modified inverse distance scheme, accounting orographic barriers. Elevation,...
Proximal soil sensors are taking hold in the understanding of hydrogeological processes involved precision agriculture. In this context, permanently installed gamma ray spectroscopy stations represent one best space–time trade off methods at field scale. This study proved feasibility and reliability water content monitoring through a seven-month continuous acquisition terrestrial radiation tomato test field. By employing 1 L sodium iodide detector placed height 2.25 m, we investigated signal...
Abstract This paper presents the implementation of a slope stability method for rainfall-induced shallow landslides in CRITERIA-1D, which is an agro-hydrological model based on Richards’ equation transient infiltration and redistribution processes. CRITERIA-1D can simulate presence development roots canopies over space time, regulation transpiration activity real meteorological data, evaporation reduction caused by canopies. The be considered composed multi-layered soil, leading to...
Abstract The Italian territory is located at the heart of one global hot spots climate change, where implementation climate‐smart land management practices imperative to guarantee present and future maintenance ecosystem functions as well sustainability human socioeconomic activities. project HIGHLANDER (HIGH performance computing support smart LAND sERvices) led by Cineca aims building a comprehensive multi‐sector framework for land‐management decision‐making in Italy. relies on high...
Abstract Assessing the information provided by coproduced climate services is a timely challenge, given continuously evolving scientific knowledge and its increasing translation to address societal needs. Here, we propose joint evaluation verification framework assess prototype that provide seasonal forecast based on experience from Horizon 2020 (H2020) Climate forecasts enabled (CLARA) project. The quality value of generated CLARA were first assessed for five utilizing Copernicus Change...
Facing global warming consequences is a major issue of present times. For what concerns climate, projections say that heavy rainfalls are going to increase with high probability together temperature rise, thus also the hazard related rainfall induced shallow landslides will likely in density over susceptible territories. Different modeling approaches exist and any them forced make simplifications order reproduce landslide occurrences space time. Process based models can help quantifying on...
In Europe, 25% of groundwater has poor chemical status. One the main stressors is agriculture, with nitrates and plant protection products (PPPs) causing failure in 18% 6.5%, respectively, bodies (by area). EU legislation for placement PPPs on market one most stringent world. However, recent monitoring studies hilly vineyards Tidone Valley, north-west Italy, show presence used grapevine cultivation 15 out 26 wells monitored, at values above Environment Quality Standard (EQS) (0.1 μg/L). no...
In recent decades, water scarcity has become a frequent and widespread phenomenon. Intensification of will have economic impact on the main water-using sectors. The highest pressure resources is exerted by agriculture. Irrigation largest consumer agriculture sector efficient use utmost importance. aim this study to explore capability an innovative platform that combines Earth Observation data, weather forecasts numerical simulations plan more precisely allocation in space time irrigated This...
The aim of this work is to present the first results obtained by means new validation water balance and crop development model CRITERIA-ID, specifically set up for SWAMP (Smart Water Management Platform) platform on one pilots, in framework project, aimed at providing support precision irrigation agriculture. consists an IoT solution monitoring farming systems combined with data analytic assess need plants, planning distribution both farm district level. CRITERIA-ID has been tested two test...
Many urban areas face an increasing flood risk, which includes the risk of flash floods. Increasing extreme precipitation events will likely lead to greater human and economic losses unless reliable efficient early warning systems (EWS) along with other adaptation actions are put in place areas. The challenge is integration analysis time space environmental, meteorological, territorial data from multiple sources needed build up EWS able provide contribution increase resilience vulnerable...
Abstract Emilia‐Romagna is a region of Northern Italy whose land use mainly devoted to agriculture, especially over the plain area. Since characterized by summer water shortages and recurrent drought conditions, irrigation demand forecast system has been developed, operating both at regional Land Reclamation Irrigation Board levels. Remote sensing crop detection used in combination with soil balance model as monitoring tool support management optimize available resources. These instruments...
The CRITERIA model simulates crop development and water dynamics in agricultural soils at different spatial scales. objective of this paper was to test order evaluate the suitability as a tool for scheduling irrigation field scale. first step work validate hypothesis, by means calibration validation on processing tomato two experimental sites Southern Italy (Rutigliano Foggia) years 2007 2008 under regimes. treatments were: i) absence plant stress (the control set up both sites), ii)...
