Coupling hysteresis analysis with sediment and hydrological connectivity in three agricultural catchments in Navarre, Spain
Purpose: Rain storm events mobilise large proportions of fine sediments in catchment systems. Sediments from agriculturalcatchments are often adsorbed by nutrients, heavy metals and other (in)organic pollutants that may ... -
Runoff, nutrients, sediment and salt yields in an irrigated watershed in southern Navarre (Spain)
The environmental impact of irrigated agriculture on water quality was assessed in Landazuria watershed (Navarre, northeast Spain), a 479.5 ha watershed with 53% of irrigated agricultural land. In the framework of a long-term ... -
Technical and environmental characterization of hydraulic and alkaline binders
Portland cement is a widely used binder in construction and building applications because of its good properties. Despite its convenience as construction material, the social demands and policies trends are requesting a ... -
Sustainable unfired bricks manufacturing from construction and demolition wastes
The management of construction and demolition wastes is a huge challenge for most Governments. Thegreatest component of such wastes is concrete and masonry fragments or remains. Among the most com-mon approaches to ... -
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 ... -
On the assimilation set-up of ASCAT soil moisture data for improving streamflow catchment simulation
Assimilation of remotely sensed surface soil moisture (SSM) data into hydrological catchment models has been identified as a means to improve stream flow simulations, but reported results vary markedly depending on the ... -
Challenges in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of stabilised clay-based construction materials
The preference of clay-based materials for sustainable construction is well-established. The establishment ofsustainability credentials of emergent construction materials is very subjective, and most available tools are ... -
Magnesium oxide as alternative binder for unfired clay bricks manufacturing
Replacement of fired bricks by unfired ones could be an effective way to reduce the building industryenvironmental footprint: Their manufacture not only requires less energy and natural resources but alsogenerates less waste. ... -
Automatic detection of uprooted orchards based on orthophoto texture analysis
Permanent crops, such as olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees, are important in European agriculture because of their spatial and economic relevance. Agricultural geographical databases (AGDBs) are commonly used by ... -
Residual stresses with time-independent cyclic plasticity in finite element analysis of welded joints
Due to the intense concentration of heat in a reduced area when Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is used to join mechanical components, the regions near the weld bead are subjected to severe thermal cycles. Firstly, the region ... -
Monitoring water vapour with GNSS during a heavy rainfall event in the Spanish Mediterranean area
The Spanish Mediterranean area is periodically affected by torrential rainfall events during autumn. In September 2012, one of these episodes took place with up to 50 mm of rain in a 1-hour period and with more than 300 ... -
Understanding top management's decision-making on implementing project management systems: an exploratory study
Top Management’s motivation to invest in improving their organisation’s Project Management processes and practices is arguably an important under-researched phenomenon. In this paper we present the results of an exploratory ... -
Prediction of main potato compounds by NIRS
Potato (Solanum tuberosum, L) compounds are generally determined by analytical methods including gasliquid chromatography (GLC), HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. These methods require a lot of time and are destructive. ... -
A multi-year analysis of traffic accidents involving agricultural tractors
The agricultural sector in Spain is responsible for a high rate of accidents every year, and many of them are traffic accidents. Tractors are a relatively rare sight on roads, meaning that the incidence of accidents involving ... -
Influence of surface roughness sample size for C-band SAR backscatter applications on agricultural soils
Soil surface roughness determines the backscatter coefficient observed by radar sensors. The objective of this letter was to determine the surface roughness sample size required in synthetic aperture radar applications and ... -
Influence of surface roughness measurement scale on radar backscattering in different agricultural soils
Soil surface roughness strongly affects the scattering of microwaves on the soil surface and determines the backscattering coefficient (σ 0 ) observed by radar sensors. Previous studies have shown important scale issues ... -
Assessing hillslope-channel connectivity in an agricultural catchment using rare-earth oxide tracers and random forests models
Soil erosion from agricultural areas is a large problem because of off-site effects like the rapid filling of reservoirs. To mitigate the problem of sediments from agricultural areas reaching the channel, reservoirs and ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Hydrological signatures based on event runoff coefficients in rural catchments of the Iberian Peninsula
Hydrological signatures are indices that help to describe the behavior of catchments. These indices can also be used to transfer information from gauged to ungauged catchments. In this study, different approaches were ...
