(Carbon Management, 2016-05-31)Research networks provide a framework for review, synthesis and systematic testing of theories by multiple scientists across international borders critical for addressing global-scale issues. In 2012, ... -
On the accuracy of factory-calibrated low-cost soil water content sensors
(Sensors, 2019-07-13)Soil water content (SWC) monitoring is often used to optimize agricultural irrigation. Commonly, capacitance sensors are used for this task. However, the factory calibrations have been often criticized ... -
Optimising sewage sludge anaerobic digestion for resource recovery in wastewater treatment plants
(Renewable Energy, 2024-02-08)Recovering resources from sludge generated during wastewater treatment is both an opportunity and a challenge. Thermophilic anaerobic digestion may optimise biogas production and digested sludge properties ... -
Reusing drainage water and substrate to improve the environmental and economic performance of Mediterranean greenhouse cropping
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2023-05-17)The objective of this study is to provide decision makers and policy makers with adequate information to support the diffusion of reuse strategies in Mediterranean greenhouses. Sixteen alternative ... -
Transfer of manure as fertilizer from livestock farms to crop fields: The case of Catalonia
(Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2020-06-20)Intensive livestock production might have a negative environmental impact, by producing large amounts of animal manure, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies with nutrient ... -
Understanding Drainage Dynamics and Irrigation Management in a Semi-Arid Mediterranean Basin
(Water, 2022-12-21)Irrigation is one of the main users of water worldwide and its overuse may affect the natural regimes of water systems. To avoid this, drainage and irrigation management needs to be improved. This study ...
