Twenty years of irrigation acclimation is driven by denser canopies and not by plasticity in twig- and needle-level hydraulics in a Pinus sylvestris forest
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Hervé Cochard, Alice Jacqueline Frédérique Gauthey, Alex Tunas Corzon
Climate change is predicted to increase atmospheric vapor pressure deficit, exacerbating soil drought, and thus enhancing tree evaporative demand and mortality. Yet, few studies have addressed the longer-term drought acclimation strategy of trees, particul ...
Oxford2024Photosynthetic acclimation and sensitivity to short- and long-term environmental changes in a drought-prone forest
Future climate will be characterized by an increase in frequency and duration of drought and warming that exacerbates atmospheric evaporative demand. How trees acclimate to long-term soil moisture changes and whether these long-term changes alter trees' se ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022A mechanistic assessment of urban heat island intensities and drivers across climates
The urban heat island effect (UHI) has been widely observed globally, causing climate, health, and energy impacts in cities. The UHI intensities have been found to largely depend on background climate and the properties of the urban fabric. Yet, a complete ...
2022Associations between inorganic arsenic in rice and groundwater arsenic in the Mekong Delta
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Matthew Charles Reid
There is growing concern regarding human dietary exposure to arsenic (As) via consumption of rice. The concentration and speciation of As in rice are highly variable, and models describing rice As speciation as a function of environmental covariates remain ...
2021Occurrence of organic micropollutants and human health risk assessment based on consumption of Amaranthus viridis, Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean
The contamination of water resource and food chain by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) constitutes a major environmental and human health concern worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of POPs in irrigation water, soil and in Am ...
2020Multi-objective optimization of rainfed and irrigated agricultural areas considering production and environmental criteria: a case study of wheat production in Spain
Gonzalo Guillen Gosalbez, Pavel Vaskan
Meeting the growing food demand with minimum impact on the environment is a major challenge to face for ensuring a more sustainable food production. To tackle this problem, in this article we present a novel systematic method for agriculture planning that ...
Elsevier2017Optimizing drip irrigation for eggplant crops in semi-arid zones using evolving thresholds
Field experiments were combined with a numerical model to optimize drip irrigation management based on soil matric potential (SMP) measurements. An experimental crop of eggplant was grown in Burkina Faso from December 2014 to March 2015 and plant response ...
Elsevier2016Evaluation of mulching in drip irrigated areas in semi-arid regions (Burkina Faso) and related hydrogeological context
Info4Dourou2.0 is a research project aiming at improving agricultural yield and water consumption in drip irrigated areas in semi-arid regions by using continuous soil humidity measurements. Within this framework, the main goal of this thesis was to invest ...
2015Low-cost wireless sensor networks for dryland irrigation agriculture in Burkina Faso
Jean-Claude Bolay, Alexandre Repetti, Theo Baracchini, Clémence Noëlie Marie Ranquet Bouleau
Dryland irrigation is a major concern in arid and semiarid regions where agricultural output is low and water a scarce and vital resource. Irrigation efficiency and sustainability are, therefore, of paramount importance in these regions, where small farmer ...
Springer International Publishing2015Optimization of drip irrigation using a sensor network in Sahel Region (Burkina Faso) - Analysis of soil water and plant dynamics in the framework of project Info4Dourou 2.0
The research project Info4Dourou 2.0 's main goal is to improve agriculture in semi-arid regions by developing a support system that optimizes agricultural production and water consumption based on continuous soil humidity measurements using a sensor netwo ...
