Abstract. Today it is evident that there are many contrasting demands on our landscape (e.g. food security, more sustainable agriculture, higher income in rural areas, etc.) as well land degradation problems. It has been proved providing operational answers to these and problems extremely difficult. Here we aim demonstrate a spatial decision support system based geospatial cyberinfrastructure (GCI) can address all of the above, so producing smart for supporting making forestry, urban...
To assess spatial variability at the very fine scale required by Precision Agriculture, different proximal and remote sensors have been used. They provide large amounts types of data which need to be combined. An integrated approach, using multivariate geostatistical data-fusion techniques multi-source geophysical sensor determine simple summary scale-dependent indices, is described here. These indices can used delineate management zones submitted differential management. Such a fusion...
Abstract Nowadays, there is contrasting evidence between the ongoing continuing and widespread environmental degradation many means to implement sustainability actions starting from good policies (e.g. EU New Green Deal, CAP), powerful technologies new satellites, drones, IoT sensors), large databases stakeholder engagement EIP‐AGRI, living labs). Here, we argue that tackle above issues dealing with land degradation, it very much required develop use friendly freely available web‐based...
Abstract. This paper aims to test a new physically oriented approach viticulture zoning at farm scale that is strongly rooted in hydropedology and achieve better use of environmental features with respect plant requirements wine production. The physics our are defined by the soil–plant–atmosphere simulation models, applying based equations describe soil hydrological processes solve soil–plant water status. study (part ZOVISA project) was conducted on devoted production high-quality wines...
Abstract Today, the issue of biodiversity conservation is, more than ever before, one primary importance since it has become common knowledge that provides many services are relevant to sustaining ecological integrity and, so, for benefit humanity. Within this framework, rural areas particularly exposed degradation threats therefore, loss due their lying between and interlinking with urban natural areas. The European Commission underlines relevance in its Biodiversity Strategy 2030, which...
The protection of groundwater resources from non-point-source pollutants, such as those coming agricultural practices, is the focus several European Directives, including Water Framework Directive and Pesticide Directive. Besides environmental goals to be reached by single EU member state, these directives clearly underline role experts in supporting planners public authorities fulfil objectives. This work presents a new web-based, freely-available dynamical tool, named pesticide fate...
Land take, a significant driver of land degradation, poses challenges for sustainable management, particularly in regions under high anthropogenic pressure. Addressing these necessitates robust, data-driven approaches to monitor, quantify, and mitigate take. This contribution explores the integration datacube technology within LandSupport Regions platform, leveraging advances from European project its extension Italian GeoSciences-IR project.Raster datacubes, structured as multidimensional...
Soil structure plays an important role in many soil processes such as roots penetration, water retention and the development of microbial habitats. For this reason, studying is a fundamental step to better understand how these work.Recently, AI-based models has paved way for their implementation analysing classifying features. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) like U-Net Mask R-CNN have shown great potential are often used segmenting pores or plant but, despite this, deep learning...
Abstract. This paper addresses the following points: how can whole soil data from normally available mapping databases (both conventional and those integrated by digital procedures) be usefully employed in hydrology? Answering this question requires a detailed knowledge of quality quantity information embedded behind map. To end description process drafting maps was prepared (which is included Appendix A paper). Then screening content availability database performed, with objective an...
Abstract The use of ammonia as a fuel still poses series challenges to be overcome, both in terms optimization and energy efficiency the production process, with regard its combustion internal engines. two main obstacles along this way are undoubtedly high ignition temperature low propagation speed flame front due slow chemical kinetics process. All these issues lead need blended mode other more “easy burning” fuels. This is even felt cases non-stationary combustion, such for alternative...
Abstract Informed, wise, land management has been a challenge since long time, but gained extra importance through the need for responding to climate change effects. The European Green Deal is one example of concertation effort in world where data availability, sharing options, and just‐in‐time exploitation are not entirely solved. LandSupport service responds this combination Spatial Decision Support System on top datacube analytics engine. In paper, we specifically focus engine how it can...
Abstract Under the same perspective of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.3 aiming to restore degraded land and soil, one current priorities new Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) is overcome serious environmental problems raised by intensive agriculture. Despite steps forward guaranteed technologies innovations (e.g., IoT, precision agriculture), availability real operational tools, which could help member states fulfil high requirements expectations CAP SDGs, still lacking. To fill this...
Land degradation is a critical challenge to sustainable development, impacting ecosystems, economies, and communities globally. As part of the FAIR-EASE Earth Critical Zone (ECZ) pilot, this study develops tailored Degradation Assessment tool based on Trends.Earth approach. The aims enhance data accessibility, integration, usability across environmental domains, supporting decision-making policy frameworks aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Building upon robust...
