Accuracy of methods for field assessment of rill and ephemeral gully erosion
To properly assess soil erosion in agricultural areas, it is necessary to determine precisely the volume of ephemeral gullies and rills in the field by using direct measurement procedures. However, little information is ... -
Analysis of low power wide area network wireless technologies in smart agriculture for large-scale farm monitoring and tractor communications
In this paper, the assessment of multiple scenario cases for large-scale farm monitoring using Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) based near-ground sensor nodes with the interaction of both tractors and farmers are ... -
Assessing soil properties controlling interrill erosion: an empirical approach under Mediterranean conditions
Soil erodibility is a complex phenomenon that comprises a number of different soil properties. However, most current (empirical) erodibility indices are based on only a few soil properties. A feasible soil characterization ... -
Assessment and modeling of the generation and transport of water and solutes in representative watersheds of Navarre (Spain): toward an optimal and sustainable agrarian activity
El objetivo general de esta tesis es ampliar la base de conocimiento sobre la dinámica de los sólidos disueltos totales, con especial atención a los nutrientes más extendidos en los sistemas agrícolas (N, y en menor medida ... -
Assessment of soil factors controlling ephemeral gully erosion on agricultural fields
The soil factor is crucial in controlling and properly modeling the initiation and development of ephemeral gullies (EGs). Usually, EG initiation has been related to various soil properties (i.e. sealing, critical shear ... -
Assessment of the main factors affecting the dynamics of nutrients in two rainfed cereal watersheds
Nutrient dynamics and factors that control nutrient exports were observed in two watersheds, namely Latxaga and La Tejería, with similar climatic and management characteristics throughout 10 years (2007–2016). Similar ... -
Beyond precipitation: physiographic gradients dictate the relative importance of environmental drivers on savanna vegetation
Background: Understanding the drivers of large-scale vegetation change is critical to managing landscapes and key to predicting how projected climate and land use changes will affect regional vegetation patterns. This ... -
Challenges and progresses in the detailed estimation of sediment export in agricultural watersheds in Navarra (Spain) after two decades of experience
Soil erosion is a very serious environmental problem worldwide, with agriculture considered the main source of sediment in inland waters. In order to determine the extent and importance of soil erosion in the Spanish region ... -
Combined spatial and temporal effects of environmental controls on long-term monthly NDVI in the Southern Africa savanna
Deconstructing the drivers of large-scale vegetation change is critical to predicting and managing projected climate and land use changes that will affect regional vegetation cover in degraded or threated ecosystems. We ... -
Comparison between capacitive and microstructured optical fiber soil moisture sensors
Soil moisture content has always been an important parameter to control because it is a deterministic factor for site-specific irrigation, seeding, transplanting, and compaction detection. In this work, a discrete sensor ... -
Crop classification based on temporal signatures of Sentinel-1 observations over Navarre province, Spain
Crop classification provides relevant information for crop management, food security assurance and agricultural policy design. The availability of Sentinel-1 image time series, with a very short revisit time and high spatial ... -
Crop type mapping based on Sentinel-1 backscatter time series
The high revisit time of Sentinel-1 (S1) observations enables the design of crop type mapping approaches exploiting the backscatter time series observed for the different crops. The objective of this study is to propose a ... -
Demonstrating correspondence between decision-support models and dynamics of real-world environmental systems
There are increasing calls to audit decision-support models used for environmental policy to ensure that they correspond with the reality facing policy makers. Modelers can establish correspondence by providing empirical ... -
Determinación de las curvas IDF en Igueldo-San Sebastián. Comparación de diferentes métodos
Las curvas de intensidad-duración-frecuencia (IDF) son una herramienta fundamental en ingeniería hidrológica. Se ha partido de la serie de precipitación de 88 años registrada cada diez minutos en la estación meteorológica ... -
Dissolved solids and suspended sediment dynamics from five small agricultural watersheds in Navarre, Spain: a 10-year study
Dissolved solids (DS) and suspended sediment (SS) loads are considered relevant environmental problems. They are related to a wide range of on-site and off-site impacts, such as soil erosion or salinization of water bodies. ... -
Effect of topography on retreat rate of different gully headcuts in Bardenas Reales area (Navarre, Spain)
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaIn Northeast Spain, gullying is a widespread phenomenon. This type of erosion is especially intense in Bardenas Reales (Navarre) where at least two major typical kinds of gully headcut are present. A first group developed ... -
Effects of climate change on streamflow and nitrate pollution in an agricultural mediterranean watershed in northern Spain
Predicting water quality and quantity response to climate change in a watershed is very difficult due to the complexity and uncertainties in estimating and understanding future hydrological conditions. However, hydrological ... -
Effects of innovative long-term soil and crop management on topsoil properties of a mediterranean soil based on detailed water retention curves
The effectiveness of conservation agriculture (CA) and other soil management strategies implying a reduction of tillage has been shown to be site-dependent (crop, clime and soil), and thus any new soil and crop management ... -
Evaluation of 2D models for the prediction of surface depression storage using realistic reference values
Depression storage (DS) is the maximum storage of precipitation and runoff in the soil surface at a given slope. The DS is determined by soil roughness that in agricultural soils is largely affected by tillage. The direct ... -
Evaluation of a gully headcut retreat model using multitemporal aerial photographs and digital elevation models
A large fraction of soil erosion in temperate climate systems proceeds from gully headcut growth processes. Nevertheless, headcut retreat is not well understood. Few erosion models include gully headcut growth processes, ...
