Hyperspectral remote sensing of crop properties with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Martin Rehak, Yosef Akhtman, Dragos Constantin

We present a case study conducted over the Field Phenotyping Platform (FIP) at the ETH Zürich research station for plant sciences at Eschikon, Lindau, as collaboration between EPFL TOPO laboratory, Gamaya company and the ETHZ Crop Science Laboratory. The a ...

Identifying environmentally and economically optimal bioenergy plant sizes and locations: A spatial model of wood-based SNG value chains

Martin Gassner, Léda Gerber, Bernhard Steubing, Luca Pampuri

The optimal size and location of bioenergy plants with regards to environmental and economic performance are assessed with a spatially explicit value chain model of the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) from wood. It consists of several individual ...

Use of Transient Measurements for the Optimization of Steady-State Performance via Modifier Adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François

Real-time optimization (RTO) methods use measurements to offset the effect of uncertainty and drive the plant to optimality. RTO schemes differ in the way measurements are incorporated in the optimization framework. Explicit RTO schemes solve a static opti ...

Intraspecific trait variability mediates the response of subalpine grassland communities to extreme drought events

Vincent Jung, Thomas Spiegelberger

Climate change is expected to increase the magnitude and the frequency of extreme climatic events such as droughts. Better understanding how plant communities will respond to these droughts is a major challenge. We expect the response to be a shift in func ...

Microclimatological consequences for plant and microbial composition in Sphagnum-dominated peatlands

Luca Bragazza, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek

In three Scandinavian peatlands we studied to what extent plant and microbial community compositions are governed by local-scale microhabitat, with a special interest in the effect of aspect (i.e. exposition of slopes). Despite differences in solar irradia ...

Tree root systems competing for soil moisture in a 3D soil–plant model

Gabriele Manoli, Sara Bonetti, Gabriel George Katul

Competition for water among multiple tree rooting systems is investigated using a soil–plant model that accounts for soil moisture dynamics and root water uptake (RWU), whole plant transpiration, and leaf-level photosynthesis. The model is based on a numer ...

Plant nanobionics approach to augment photosynthesis and biochemical sensing

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian

The interface between plant organelles and non-biological nanostructures has the potential to impart organelles with new and enhanced functions. Here, we show that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) passively transport and irreversibly localize within ...

Extending the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Molecular Genetic Toolbox

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

Targeted alteration of the genome lies at the heart of the exploitation of S. pombe as a model system. The rate of analysis is often determined by the efficiency with which a target locus can be manipulated. For most loci this is not a problem, however for ...
