Abstract Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are becoming more important in Mediterranean rainfed areas due to their potential minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion, and improve quality water availability. Due minimum disturbance crop residue retention, the environment for growth development can differ between CA conventional tillage (CT) practice. However, breeding targets improving ...

An approach is proposed in the present study to estimate soil erosion data-scarce Kokcha subbasin Afghanistan. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model used erosion. satellite-based data are obtain RUSLE factors. results show that slight (71.34%) and moderate (25.46%) dominated basin. In contrast, high (0.01%) insignificant area. highest amount of observed Rangeland (52.2%) follow...

The partitioning of precipitation water input on land between green (evapotranspiration) and blue (runoff) fluxes distributes the annually renewable freshwater resource among sectors ecosystems. patterns main drivers this are not fully understood around global area. We decipher worldwide key determinants flux investigate its predictability based a machine learning model. Available data for 3,61...

regional impact studies of the future climate change effects are necessary because projected changes in meteorological variables differ from one region to another, and different climate systems can react in varied ways to the same changes. in this study, the effects of climate change on bioclimatic deficiency were compared in two cultivation methods (irrigated and rainfed) in a semi-arid region...

Water deficit is an important factor limiting crop growth all over the world. In order to evaluate genetic variation, heritability and the interrelationship between agronomic traits, twenty chickpea genotypes were cultivated in two separated randomized complete block experiments with three replications under normal irrigated and rainfed conditions. The experiments were carried out at the Agricu...

The conversion of cultivated areas from rainfed to irrigated agriculture alters the watershed’s hydrology and could affect water quality quantity. This study examined how streamflow, nitrate load, concentration changed after irrigation implementation in a Mediterranean watershed Navarre, Spain. Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was applied Cidacos River simulate streamflow load under cond...
