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 ...
Evaluation of TSEB turbulent fluxes using different methods for the retrieval of soil and canopy component temperatures from UAV thermal and multispectral imagery
(Springer, 2018-09-14)
The thermal-based Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) model partitions the evapotranspiration (ET) and energy fluxes from vegetation and soil components providing the capability for estimating soil evaporation ...
Assessment of different methods for shadow detection in high-resolution optical imagery and evaluation of shadow impact on calculation of NDVI, and evapotranspiration
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-03)
Significant efforts have been made recently in the application of high-resolution remote sensing imagery (i.e., sub-meter) captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for precision agricultural applications ...
How does peach fruit set on sylleptic shoots borne on epicormics compare with fruit set on proleptic shoots?
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2018-02-22)
Proleptic and epicormic shoots on peach (Prunus
persica) have different growth characteristics that
have management implications for peach production.
Proleptic shoots arise from buds after a ...
Evapotranspiration estimates derived using thermal-based satellite remote sensing and data fusion for irrigation management in California vineyards
(Springer Verlag, 2018-10-10)
Irrigation in the Central Valley of California is essential for successful wine grape production. With reductions in water availability in much of California due to drought and competing water-use ...
Effects of partially saturated conditions on the metabolically active microbiome and on nitrogen removal in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands
(Elsevier, 2018-05-08)
Nitrogen dynamics and its association to metabolically active microbial populations were assessed in two vertical subsurface vertical flow (VF) wetlands treating urban wastewater. These VF wetlands were ...
Evaluating Soil Resistance Formulations in Thermal‐Based Two‐Source Energy Balance (TSEB) Model: Implications for Heterogeneous Semiarid and Arid Regions
(Wiley, 2018-11-26)
Relatively small fluctuations in the surface energy balance and evapotranspiration in semiarid and arid regions can be indicative of significant changes to ecosystem health. Therefore, it is imperative ...
Soil porosity changes in orchards with subsurface irrigation: quantification and interpretation
(Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, 2018-11-07)
In order to assess the irrigation efficiency under
water-limiting conditions, four different treatments of subsurface irrigation of peach trees in a
semi-arid Mediterranean climate near Lleida ...
