Climate change impacts on water sustainability of South African crop production
Agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which, combined with projected food requirements, makes the sustainable management of water resources critical to ensure national and global food security. ...
2022Using PhenoCams to track crop phenology and explain the effects of different cropping systems on yield
CONTEXT: Crop phenology integrates information of how environmental drivers and management practices affect plant performance and crop yield. However, little is known about the impact of cropping systems (CS) on crop phenology and how this relates to diffe ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022The effects of previous summer drought and fertilization on winter non-structural carbon reserves and spring leaf development of downy oak saplings
Xiaoyu Wang, Yue Yang, Peng He
It is still unknown whether the previous summer season drought and fertilization will affect the winter non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) reserves, spring leaf development, and mortality of trees in the next year. We, therefore, conducted an experiment wit ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Growing maize landraces in industrialized countries: from the search for seeds to the emergence of new practices and values
In industrialized countries, maize cultivation is mainly associated with the use of hybrid varieties and input-intensive monocultures. Despite the homogeneity of European maize landscapes, alternative models of maize production based on landraces exist. Un ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2021Enteric infection induces Lark-mediated intron retention at the 5 ' end of Drosophila genes
Bart Deplancke, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Michael Vincent Frochaux, Dani Osman, Tommaso Andreani
Background RNA splicing is a key post-transcriptional mechanism that generates protein diversity and contributes to the fine-tuning of gene expression, which may facilitate adaptation to environmental challenges. Here, we employ a systems approach to study ...
2020Long-term effects of crop succession, soil tillage and climate on wheat yield and soil properties
Climate change is increasing crop losses and yield variability with impacts for global food security. In this context, conservation agriculture appears as a potential solution to maintain crop productivity, soil fertility and environmental sustainability. ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019Model of crop growth, water flow, and solute transport in layered soil
David Andrew Barry, Jiancheng Yang
Agro-ecohydrological models are essential for managing scarce water resources and ensuring crop productivity. Here, a one-dimensional agro-ecohydrological model, LAWSTAC, capable of simulating water and solute transport in layered soil coupled with crop gr ...
2019Size Ratio of Fluvial Grains’ Intermediate Axes Assessed by Image Processing and Square-Hole Sieving
The comparability of grain sizes emerging from different methods are discussed, including image-based grain-size analysis. Waterworked gravel-bed surfaces from laboratory and field experiments are analyzed in detail. Grain sizes estimated using freely avai ...
