While soil water composition has long been recognised as being related to soil type (characteristics of the horizons), the influence of structures resulting from agricultural activities (hedges, ditches, wheel ruts, etc) is still under discussion. This work was undertaken to show that a snapshot of spatial variability of the geochemical characteristics of soil water at the scale of a plot can i...

A new approach to characterise geographical areas with a drought risk index (DRI) is suggested, by applying an artificial neural network (ANN) classifier to bioclimatic time series for which operational temporal units (OtUs) are defined. A climatic database, corresponding to a grid of 8 km x 8 km cells covering the Italian peninsula, was considered. Each cell is described by the time series of ...

DISPATCH is a disaggregation algorithm of the low-resolution soil moisture (SM) estimates derived from passive microwave observations. It provides disaggregated SM data at typically 1 km resolution by using evaporative efficiency (SEE) estimated optical/thermal collected around solar noon. based on relationship between evapo-transpiration rate and surface under non-energy-limited conditions hen...

Semi-Arid Tropical (SAT) regions are influenced by climate change impacts affecting the rainfed crops in their productivity and production. Water Footprint (WF) assessment for on watershed scale is critical water resource planning, development, efficient crop and, better use efficiency. A semi-arid tropical was selected lower Krishna river basin having a 4700 ha area Telangana, India. Soil Asse...

Irrigation activities, as part of the agricultural green revolution, in Northwest India are aimed at transforming barrenland to agriculturally productive area. The main objective this study is determine effects these land use cover (LULC) transformations on regional meteorology over region. Satellite derived LULC classes 2003 and 2012 reveal conversion significantly large areas open shrubland c...

Abstract Key message This study takes stock of the first 20 years (2000–2019) monitoring pine wood nematode (PWN) in metropolitan France. While PWN was never found wild during this period, it reported some wood-based commodities entering or circulating on French territory. stresses importance remaining extremely vigilant, as conditions France, especially weather conditions, could be particularl...

Temperature and CO2 are two important parameters related to climate change, which affect crop yield. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the impact of these two factors on the productivity of the four major cereal food crops (wheat, rice, maize and pearl millet) taking New Delhi as study area. This study also aims at identifying the most sensitive growth phase of these crops to th...

a modification of the procedure described by Huggins et aL (3). A lipid emulsion (0.2 ml) of 1% (w/v) DMBA was injected into the caudal vein of animals at ages of 50, 53, and 56 days. Fifty mg of DMBA were dissolved in 1.5 ml of corn oil, and the mixture was warmed and then stirred with a Vortex mixer until a clear solution was obtained. The final emulsion was obtained by mixing 3.5 ml of fresh...
