Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in world due to its flavor, aroma, energy content, and complex nutritional profile. Many factors affect coffee’s characteristics, including origin, storage, roasting conditions. In this context, study analyzes 100% Arabica medium-roasted coffee from six countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, Brazil, Democratic Republic Congo, Ethiopia, Colombia) assess to...

Increasing crop species diversity within a region could improve agricultural sustainability, but knowledge of the spatiotemporal variation and how this is related to pedo-climatic conditions limited. In current study, we used historical data records quantify conditions, developed over time at national regional scale in Sweden between 1965 2019. Crop was quantified using exponent Shannon index. ...

Abstract. This study investigates the surroundings of Munigua (municipium Flavium Muniguense), a small Roman town in ancient province Hispania Baetica (SW Spain). The city's economy was based primarily on copper and iron mining, which brought financial prosperity to its citizens. Local production agricultural goods is thought have been little importance, as regional soil conditions do not seem ...

The ecological offer holds an important role in establishing the grapevine areas. pedo-climatic conditions influence intensity of physiological and biochemical processes inside plant, determine length vegetation period, hydro-mineral feeding system, quality crops, singularity to grapes wines obtained on a certain area, expressed by specificity viticultural area. Grapevine cultivation with super...

Nature-Based Farming Solutions (NBFS) are envisaged practices that still strongly demand further context-specific scientific validation for their viable deployment at the local scale. In this context, our study deals with test of a multi-scale system landscape ecology indicators, interpreted as surrogates accounting contributions NBFS to agrobiodiversity values and consequent environmental stab...

The contamination of groundwater by heavy metal ions around a lead and zinc plant has been studied. As a case study groundwater contamination in Bonab Industrial Estate (Zanjan-Iran) for iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium and lead content was investigated using differential pulse polarography (DPP). Although, cobalt, copper and zinc were found correspondingly in 47.8%, 100.0%, and 100....

The vertical root distribution (VRD) in the soil remains unknown for most plant species, as studying systems different pedo-climatic settings is time-consuming and methodologically challenging. Yet, information on VRD of vegetation types essential to understand better biogeochemical processes occurring at soil–plant-atmosphere continuum. aim this study was describe three dominant alpine, herbac...

Soil moisture is a key variable that controls the exchange of water and energy fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere. However, the temporal evolution of soil moisture is neither easy to measure nor monitor at large scales because of its high spatial variability. This is mainly a result of the local variation in soil properties and vegetation cover. Thus, land surface models are nor...
