Changes in climate, land use, and management impact the occurrence severity of wildland fires many parts world. This is particularly evident Europe, where ongoing changes use have strongly modified fire patterns over last decades. Although satellite data by European Forest Fire Information System provide large-scale statistics across countries, there still a crucial need to collect summarize in-depth local analysis understanding condition associated challenges Europe. article aims general...
Transdisciplinary approaches that provide holistic views are essential to properly understand soil processes and the importance of society will be crucial in future integrate distinct disciplines into studies. A myriad challenges faces science at beginning 2020s. The main aim this overview is assess past achievements current regarding threats such as erosion contamination related different United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) including (1) food production, (2) ensure healthy...
It has been shown that soil management under organic farming can enhance carbon, thereby mitigating atmospheric greenhouse gas increases, but until now quantitative evaluations based on long term experiments are scarce, especially Mediterranean conditions. Changes in carbon (SOC) content were examined response to with cover crops a citrus plantation using 21 years of survey data. Soil increase was more apparent 5 after land change suggesting that, for plantations conditions, studies should...
Abstract Infiltration regulates the movement and storage of water at soil–atmosphere interface is, therefore, a key component many related physical biogeochemical processes. Numerous studies have examined infiltration over past two centuries. These efforts resulted in development numerous models that capture effects specific soil properties initial boundary conditions. This proliferation has advanced our collective ability to understand processes but also made it challenging for researchers...
The increasing interest in the Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters (BEST) procedure soil hydraulic characterization justifies an assessment alternative methods to analyze infiltration data. BEST-slope and BEST-intercept algorithms allow estimation sorptivity, S, saturated conductivity, Ks, using transient part experimental curve slope intercept, respectively, linear portion this curve. With reference 401 runs performed Sicily (Italy) Burundi, investigation showed that these two...
Field-saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, Kfs, is highly variable. Therefore, interpreting and simulating hydrological processes, such as rainfall excess generation, need a large number of Kfs data even at the plot scale. Simple reasonably rapid experiments should be carried out in field. In this investigation, simple infiltration experiment with ring inserted shortly into estimation so-called α* parameter allowed to obtain an approximate measurement Kfs. The theoretical approach was...
Testing infiltrometer techniques to determine soil hydraulic properties is necessary for specific soils. For a loam soil, the water retention and conductivity predicted by BEST (Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters) procedure characterization was compared with data collected more standard laboratory field techniques. Six were also in terms saturated conductivity, Ks. yielded values statistically similar those obtained Ks practically coinciding determined pressure (PI). The...
Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties after forest restoration is essential for understanding the recovery hydrological processes, such as water infiltration. An increase cover may improve infiltration and properties, but little known about response extent to which can affect these properties. The purpose this study was investigate effect on surface-saturated conductivity (Ks), verify Ks pre-disturbance conditions. We sampled field at surface in Campinas municipality, São Paulo State,...
A method is presented for characterizing the spatial variability of water infiltration and soil hydraulic properties at transect field scales. The involves monitoring a set 10 Beerkan runs distributed over 1-m length soil, running BEST (Beerkan estimation transfer parameters) methods to derive parameters. multi-runs (BMR) provides significant amount data scale, allowing determination correlations between variables parameters, detection specific affected by preferential flow or repellence....
Core Ideas We present a new method for the hydraulic characterization of dual‐permeability soils. The BEST‐2K was validated with synthetic soil data. also real experimental data contrasting This study presents (BEST‐2K) that extends existing BEST methods use in characterizing water retention and conductivity functions matrix fast‐flow regions requires input information from two infiltration experiments are performed under ponded (Beerkan) unsaturated (tension infiltrometer) conditions at...
Satellite remote sensing-based surface energy balance (SEB) techniques have emerged as useful tools for quantifying spatialized actual evapotranspiration at various temporal and spatial scales. However, discontinuous data acquisitions and/or gaps in image acquisition due to cloud cover can limit the applicability of satellite sensing (RS) agriculture water management where continuous time series daily crop (ETc act) are more valued. The aim research is construct ETc act starting from...
