The rural population in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH), which constitutes more than half of the total population, experienced serious incidences extreme weather events past two decades. This part is vulnerable to climate change due significant dependence on agriculture as a climate-sensitive livelihood option. However, source their vulnerability not only extent magnitude these events, but also internal status within systems before occurrence such events. In order explore different dimensions...
In Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), the number of weather stations (WS) that are monitoring all climatic parameters required for FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (FAO-PM) equation is limited. fact, it great need importance to achieve possibility calculating reference evapotranspiration (ET0) every WS in BiH (around 150), regardless climate which they collect. Solving this problem possible by using alternative equations require less climatological data reliable estimation daily monthly ET0. The main...
Aim of study: A two-year experiment (2021-2022) was conducted to assess the response a local maize hybrid BL-43 different water regimes (full irrigation, deficit irrigation and rainfed) at two distinguished pedo-climatic locations (Aleksandrovac Butmir) in Bosnia Herzegovina (BiH). Area The field located Aleksandrovac (near Banja Luka) Butmir Sarajevo) BiH. Material methods: randomized block design adopted both experimental with three replicates. An Excel-based tool used manage crop...
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) accumulates challenges in the areas of research innovation (R&I), agricultural water management (AWM) their intersection. In decade 2012–2022, BiH gross domestic product per capita current US$ increased by 6.2% annually. However, improvements are slowly arriving R&I AWM. this period, relevant to AWM have materialized, such as climate change effects or need implement an interconnected vision ecosystem services. arena, societal demand for knowledge goods remains...
Average monthly air temperatures in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) exhibit a notable rise during summer, ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 °C per decade, while precipitation experiences significant decrease of up 8 mm decade. Climate models, across various RCP scenarios, project an increase temperature, that is most pronounced the summer season. Additionally, there projected frequency intensity heavy autumn. In BiH, agricultural production faces substantial risks, including droughts, spring autumn...
Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is an annual plant from Polygonaceae family which well known as pseudocereal with high nutritional value.The yield and quality of the buckwheat`s kernel depend on weather conditions, mainly due to variations in air temperatures precipitation during growing period.The aim this study was determine impact some metrological parameters yields chemical compositions buckwheat.Field experiments were conducted three years (2011, 2012 2013) village Donje...
The analysis of meteorological data from the period 1961-2014 show rise in mean annual temperature entire territory Bosnia and Herzegovina.The changes are more pronounced central -hilly part country.The increase air ranges 0.4 to 1.0°C per decade, whereas increases during vegetation were up 1.2°C decade.Additionally, over last fourteen years even pronounced.Changed distribution precipitation, significant variations increasing soil moisture deficit (April -September) also evident combined...
A two-year experiment was conducted with a local maize hybrid under full irrigation (F), deficit (D) and rainfed conditions (R) to estimate evapotranspiration in Bosnia Herzegovina. Three approaches (Allen & Pereira (A&P), SIMDualKc (SD), Vegetation Index (VI)) were used the actual crop coefficient (Kc act), basal (Kcb (ETc act) applied dual method remote sensing (RS) data. While Kcb act from all matched FAO56 tabulated values, SD showed differences, comparison A&P,...
Drought in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is mostly analyzed using water deficit obtained from agro-hydrological balance; a ratio between precipitation or actual evapotranspiration (AET) to potential (PET); more recently Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI).The main objective of this research use the relatively new multiscalar drought index, Evapotranspiration (SPEI) analyze severity, magnitude, duration periods B&H.SPEI based on data it has advantage combing character with capacity include...
There are three major challenges for climatic data availability Reference Evapotranspiration (ET0) calculations in Bosnia and Herzegovina: limited availability, discontinuity of records, low station density. The main objective this study was to apply reliable methods calculate spatially distribute ET0, while considering the impact elevation. A 20 m spatial resolution map created mean ET0 values at monthly, vegetation period (April–September) annual temporal municipality (143 municipalities),...
Naturally occurring heavy metals are commonly adsorbed onto substances with a large active surface, such as clays and iron oxyhydroxides. Different could show different adsorbing preference to or oxyhydroxides, whereas deep clay pit sediment sample frequent subsampling gives the results that more reliable. This study aimed reveal differences in behavior of their relationships total amorphous core sample. In this research, 110 samples 33.0 m were studied. Nine from open mine investigated: Fe...
Lithuania and Bosnia Herzegovina are considered as countries with high vulnerability low adaptive capacity to cope climate change.The entire territory of these is characterized by the warming trend, positive trends in both maximum minimum temperatures throughout year.The increase air temperature has resulted change evapotranspiration mean annual water balance values.These also frequently faced an occurrence severe droughts heavy floods.The main purpose this study was determine compare...
About 39% of the Bosnian population is urban. The main objective this work to get an insight into urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) in Bosnia with a focus on legal regulatory framework, governance, advisory services’ role. Information were collected by literature review semi-structured interviews 30 gardeners as well extension agents municipal officers Sarajevo region. paper analyses references UPA agricultural development policies Bosnia; assesses agents; planning zoning regulations...
The increased need for smart management of agricultural resources resulted in the preparation and implementation H2020 project SMARTWATER. This publication aims to present main outcomes SMARTWATER three years (2021-2023), encourage relevant target groups participate action 2024 promote resources. During different results were obtained. team will continue with twinning activities aiming agriculture practices, increase competencies scientists young researchers disseminate outcomes.
A two-year experiment was conducted with a local maize hybrid under full (F) and deficit (D) drip irrigation rainfed conditions (R) to estimate evapotranspiration in Bosnia Herzegovina (BiH). Three approaches, namely, A&P, SIMDualKc (SD), vegetation index (VI), the actual crop coefficient (Kc act), basal (Kcb (ETc were applied dual method remote sensing (RS) data for first time. While Kcb act from all approaches matched FAO56 tabulated values, SD showed differences comparison A&P of...
Bosnia and Herzegovina accumulates challenges in the areas of research innovation, agricultural water management their intersection. This paper set out to elaborate a realistic feasible roadmap consolidate these issues. Desk research, stakeholders’ perceptions Strengths–Weaknesses–Opportunities–Threats analysis were used take stock current situation its societal perspectives. We interviewed 33 stakeholders organized six workshops gathering about 180 persons. Stakeholders divided into...
The Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) erosion map was made in 1985, however, over a period of 35 years, there has been substantial change the values most factors, resulting intensity.Changes relate to demographics, urbanization land use as well climate.The increase temperature occurrence extremes caused significant environmental economic consequences (May 2014 floods).This situation is more pronounced northern part country, especially lower parts larger basins.Risk assessment procedures using...
