Evaluation of the impact of changing from rainfed to irrigated agriculture in a mediterranean watershed in Spain
(MDPI, 2023)
Artículo / Artikulua,
The conversion of cultivated areas from rainfed to irrigated agriculture alters the watershed’s hydrology and could affect the water quality and quantity. This study examined how streamflow, nitrate load, and nitrate ...
Evaluation of soil moisture estimation techniques based on Sentinel-1 observations over wheat fields
(Elsevier, 2023)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Soil moisture (SM) is a key variable in agriculture and its monitoring is essential. SM determines the amount of
water available to plants, having a direct impact on the development of crops, on the forecasting of crop ...
Effects of innovative long-term soil and crop management on topsoil properties of a mediterranean soil based on detailed water retention curves
(European Geosciences Union, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
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 ...
Effects of climate change on streamflow and nitrate pollution in an agricultural mediterranean watershed in northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2023)
Artículo / Artikulua,
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 ...
Extended assessment of sprinkler irrigation uniformity in greenhouses using GIS and hydraulic modeling
(MDPI, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Traditionally, distribution uniformity has been obtained by using rain gauges, which makes it a very expensive process. This paper sought to create a simulation strategy using QGIS and EPANET, both free software, that ...
Evaluation of nitrate soil probes for a more sustainable agriculture
(MDPI, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers and their increased production and utilization have played a great role in increasing crop yield and in meeting the food demands resulting from population growth. Nitrate (NO3−) is the ...
On the influence of acquisition geometry in backscatter time series over wheat
(Elsevier, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Dense time series of Sentinel-1 imagery are an invaluable information source for agricultural applications. Multiple orbits can observe a specific area and their combination could improve the temporal resolution of the ...
The role of ethnic characteristics in the effect of income shocks on African conflict
(Elsevier, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This paper disentangles the ethnic drivers of the effect of food-related income shocks on African conflict employing geo-localized information. We consider diversity and political ethnic variables and several conflict ...
Dissolved solids and suspended sediment dynamics from five small agricultural watersheds in Navarre, Spain: a 10-year study
(Elsevier, 2019)
Artículo / Artikulua,
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. ...
Relationship of weather types on the seasonal and spatial variability of rainfall, runoff, and sediment yield in the western Mediterranean basin
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Rainfall is the key factor to understand soil erosion processes, mechanisms, and rates. Most research was conducted to determine rainfall characteristics and their relationship with soil erosion (erosivity) but there is ...
