While the parties to the UNFCCC agreed in the December 2009 Copenhagen Accord that a 2°C global warming over pre-industrial levels should be avoided, current commitments on greenhouse gas emissions reductions from these same parties will lead to a 50 : 50 chance of warming greater than 3.5°C. Here, we evaluate the differences in impacts and adaptation issues for water resources in worlds corres...

Seedlings of Salix eriocephala Michx., Salix sericea Marsh., and their F1 hybrids were tested for their growth under contrasting water conditions. One-year old seedlings were grown in pots and subjected to one of two experiments, a scheduled-watering experiment (watered every 1, 4, 8, or 12 days) or a dry-down experiment (no watering after an initial period without water limitation). In the sch...

ABSTRACT: This research evaluated the yield, water productivity, and economic productivity for oil content of three soybean cultivars under different conditions. The experiments were conducted in 2017/2018 2018/2019 harvests. experimental design consisted a two-factor randomized block, with first factor 5 irrigation depths, based on reference evapotranspiration (ETO), plus treatment without sec...

This study aims to analyze the potential of surface water meet agricultural needs in Kediri Regency, Indonesia. Data from government agencies (i.e., Indonesian Bureau Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agriculture Office) fieldwork were analyzed achieve research objectives. The data obtained consisted rainfall, temperature, infiltration capacity, soil texture, root depth, land area. resou...

this research was conducted during 2009 at a regional scale in birjand and qaen counties, southern khorasan, as an attempt to develop a sustainability index (si) for quantifying the sustainability of saffron agroecosystem. the information of these agroecosystems, including socio-economic, agronomic and ecological indicators was collected using questionnaires and was subjected to statistical ana...

Extreme weather events like drought and heavy rain are likely to increase with climate change in Central Europe and may affect nutrient content in plants. They may therefore influence the performance (growth rate, developmental time, mortality, body size/mass, fecundity) and population dynamics of herbivorous insects. We conducted a common-garden experiment on food plants to investigate effects...
