Influence of wind direction on the surface roughness of vineyards
(Springer Verlag, 2018-11-27)
Remote sensing-based models are the most viable means of collecting the high-resolution spatially distributed estimates of evaporative water loss needed to manage irrigation and ensure the effective use ...
Determining a robust indirect measurement of leaf area index in California vineyards for validating remote sensing-based retrievals
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-05)
Accurate ground-based measurements of leaf area index (LAI) are needed for validation of remote sensing-based retrievals used in models estimating plant water use, stress, carbon assimilation and other ...
Utility of the two-source energy balance (TSEB) model in vine and interrow flux partitioning over the growing season
(Springer Verlag, 2018-09-14)
For monitoring water use in vineyards, it becomes important to evaluate the evapotranspiration (ET) contributions from the two distinct management zones: the vines and the interrow. Often the interrow ...
Water stress during the post-harvest period affects new root formation but not starch concentration and content in Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) perennial organs
(Elsevier, 2019-02-15)
Water stress responses during the post-harvest period were evaluated in a Chardonnay container-grown grapevines grafted onto 1103 Paulsen rootstock. The irrigation treatments were: a control treatment ...
Drivers of spatio-temporal variability of carbon dioxide and energyfluxes ina Mediterranean savanna ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2018-07-25)
To understand what is driving spatial flux variability within a savanna type ecosystem in central Spain, data of
three co-located eddy covariance (EC) towers in combination with hyperspectral airborne ...
Monitoring crop evapotranspiration and crop coefficients over an almond and pistachio orchard throughout remote sensing
(MDPI, 2018-12-10)
In California, water is a perennial concern. As competition for water resources increases due to growth in population, California’s tree nut farmers are committed to improving the efficiency of water ...
Long proleptic and sylleptic shoots in peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) trees have similar, predetermined, maximum numbers of nodes and bud fate patterns
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-03)
Background and Aims
In peach (Prunus persica) trees, three types of shoots can be distinguished depending on the time of their appearance: sylleptic, proleptic and epicormic. On proleptic shoots, an ...
Evaluating the feasibility of using Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellites for high-resolution evapotranspiration estimations
(Elsevier, 2018-11-21)
The Sentinel satellite missions are designed to provide remote-sensing observational capability to many diverse operational applications, including in the field of agriculture and food security. They ...
Remote sensing of water use and water stress in the African savanna ecosystem at local scale – Development and validation of a monitoring tool
(Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2019-02-06)
Savannas are among the most productive biomes of Africa, where they comprise half of its surface. They support wildlife, livestock, rangelands, crops, and livelihoods, playing an important socioeconomic ...
Performance of a Chill Overlap Model for Predicting Budbreak in Chardonnay Grapevines over a Broad Range of Growing Conditions
(American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV), 2018-09-26)
Predicting phenological stages through modeling has significant implications for planning viticultural practices and for predicting the impact of climate change on phenology. The Chill Overlap Model is ...
