An understanding of the mechanisms that determine plant response to reduced water availability is essential improve water-use efficiency (WUE) stone fruit crops. The physiological, biochemical and molecular drought responses four Prunus rootstocks (GF 677, Cadaman, ROOTPAC 20 ROOTPAC® R) budded with 'Catherina' peach cultivar were studied. Trees grown in 15-l containers subjected a progressive stress for 26 days, monitoring soil moisture content by time domain reflectometry. Photosynthetic...
Abstract. In this paper, we present and analyze a novel global database of soil infiltration measurements, the Soil Water Infiltration Global (SWIG) database. total, 5023 curves were collected across all continents in SWIG These data either provided quality checked by scientists who performed experiments or they digitized from published articles. Data 54 different countries included with major contributions Iran, China, USA. addition to its extensive geographical coverage, cover research...
Despite the exponential increase in human population at global scale, some rural areas have experienced a progressive abandonment over last decades. Under particular socioecological and policy contexts, changes demography may promote land-use and, consequently, alter ecosystem services (ES) supply. However, most studies on this topic targeted urban increase, whereas depopulation has been rarely addressed. Here, we examined how shifts demographic variables (human population, density, number...
The surface of many European mountain grasslands is decreasing due to global change and extensive grazing stands out as a key tool for their conservation. Sound knowledge grassland ecosystem functioning its feedback processes required implement sustainable management. This study aimed understand the effect different intensities on herbivore-plant-soil feedbacks in Mediterranean grasslands. We estimated spatial distribution sheep intensity using GPS technology order assess pressure vegetation...
Ecological restoration of post-mining landscapes is critical to mitigating the environmental impacts extraction activities. This study compares effectiveness geomorphic (GR) versus conventional (CR) techniques in improving soil water availability and seed germination dynamics Fortuna quarry, a Mediterranean site Spain. Soil content (SWC) potential (ψ) were monitored over 22 months across different restored reference treatments, alongside by menas hydrothermal time models. GR areas exhibited...
Tillage practices have a significant influence on the soil hydro-physical properties. The objective of this work was to evaluate effect tillage α (a scaling factor) and n pore size distribution parameter) van Genuchten water retention curve parameters during an 18-month long fallow period in semiarid dryland. Three different systems employed 23 years trials were compared: conventional (CT), reduced (RT) no-tillage (NT). Measurements bulk density (ρb) θ(ψ) performed at 0–10, 10–20 20–30cm...
Abstract. Sorptivity is one of the most important parameters for quantification water infiltration into soils. Parlange (1975) proposed a specific formulation to derive sorptivity as function soil retention and hydraulic conductivity functions, well initial final contents. However, this requires integration involving diffusivity, which may be undefined or present numerical difficulties that cause misestimations. In study, we propose mixed scales splits integrals two parts: first term...
Abstract Many different equations ranging from simple empirical to semi‐analytical solutions of the Richards equation have been proposed for quantitative description water infiltration into variably saturated soils. The sorptivity, S , and hydraulic conductivity, K s in these are typically unknown be estimated measured data. In this paper, we use so‐called characteristic time ( t char ) design a new method, referred as method (CTM) that estimates one‐dimensional (1D) cumulative We...
Knowledge of soil water conductive porosity is paramount importance for understanding the and solute movement in soil. The objective this study was to describe evaluate an alternative pore index, i.e., representative mean radius two consecutive tensions (λ ΔΨ ), characterizing water‐transmitting macro‐ mesoporosity hydraulic conductivity (K) related parameters were measured using a tension disk infiltrometer at −14, −4, −1, 0 cm pressure heads depth 2 on long‐term conservation tillage...
