The SIMDualKc model was used to simulate crop water requirements for a super high density olive orchard in the region of Alentejo, Portugal. This uses dual coefficient approach estimate and partitioning actual evapotranspiration (ETc act) therefore perform soil balance. calibrated with 2011 tree transpiration using trunk sap flow measurements validated similar data from 2012 tested 2013 data. Low root mean square errors (RMSE < 0.53 mm·d−1) acceptable modelling efficiency indicators (EF...

Sand flies from Central Amazonia and four new records for the Amazonas state, Brazil. A survey was conducted in May June 2008 to study fauna of insects Amazonia, As part survey, we report here that sixty species phlebotomine were identified, totaling 13,712 specimens 13 genera. The collection sites located at border between states Pará Amazonas, comprising three municipalities state (Borba, Maués, Nhamundá). Malaise, CDC Shannon traps used collect insects. Most sand collected by (89.5%),...

A robust hydrological impact assessment is indispensable for mitigation and adaptation planning. This study presents an integrated modelling methodology evaluating climate change impacts on water availability, sediment yield extreme events at the catchment scale. We propose use of spatial–temporal Neyman–Scott Rectangular Pulses (STNSRP) model—RainSim V3 rainfall conditioned daily weather generator—ICAAM‐WG, as well physically based spatially distributed model—SHETRAN. The factor approach...

Reports on the annual effects of deficit irrigation regimes olive trees are critical in shedding light their impacts water use, yield, and productivity distinct growing climate regions world. From account a four-year experiment, aim this work is to add insight into such southern Portugal. We worked with an intensive ‘Cobrançosa’ orchard (300 ha−1) under full (FI) treatment two regulated (DI) treatments designed replace around 70% 50% FI supply, respectively. Crop transpiration (T), use...

During this century, the island of Hispaniola has been affected by climate changes that have directly impacted two major bodies water on island: Lake Enriquillo in Dominican Republic and Etang Saumâtre (Azuei) Haiti. is a hypersaline endorheic basin (the outlet only occurs evaporation) so lake level normally fluctuates between 40–50 m below sea level. period 2000–2013, began to rise 17.2m.This expansion could be attributed effects identified regulating influences or Caribbean Regulators...

Evapotranspiration (ETc) partitioning and obtaining of FAO56 dual crop coefficient (Kc) for olive was carried out with the SIMDualKc software application root zone topsoil soil water balance based on coefficients. A simplified two source-energy model (STSEB), daily remotely sensed canopy thermal infrared data retrieval surface fluxes, also provided information ETc orchard. Both models were calibrated validated ground-based, sap flow-derived transpiration rates, their performance compared in...

To estimate mean annual water yield on ungauged watersheds, regional regression equations have been developed that are a function of upstream area, precipitation, and temperature, commonly used. In this study, the 100-year old Grunsky equation is used as foundation for fully implemented generalized Mediterranean model based long-term precipitation temperature. The work here (1) extends generalizes Grunsky’s beyond its original conditions, (2) establishes an underlying hydro-climate average...

Changes on the climate of boundary layer occur when a vegetation cover above bare soil is introduced, namely temperatures and humidity profiles, under surface.Since air affect crop growth development also moisture, they have been used as driving variables in numerous models well those referred to mineralization, evaporation, transpiration, etc.The aim this work was evaluate (a) thermal behavior two olive orchards (Olea europaea sp.europaea), both grown soils with little profile (Regosol...
