Western Iberia has recently shown increasing frequency of drought conditions coupled with heatwave events, leading to exacerbated limiting climatic conditions for plant growth. It is not clear to
...Regional climate models provided precipitation and temperature time series for control (1961-1990) and scenario (2071-2100) periods. At southern Portugal, the climate models in the control period
...This study evaluates climate change potential impacts on irrigated agriculture in the Guadiana river basin, in the south of Portugal, by running long-term soil water balance simulations using the
...Respiration traits allow calculating temperature-dependent carbon use efficiency and prediction of growth rates.
This protocol aims
(1) to enable validation of respiration traits
...Reservoirs often play an important role in mitigating water supply problems. However, the implications of climate change are not always considered in reservoir planning and management. This study
...A fenotipagem de alto débito permite identificar parâmetros funcionais diretamente relacionados com o comportamento varietal em condições de stress climático. É uma ferramenta importante no
...Agriculture is strongly dependent on weather conditions and climate change can alter precipitation patterns leading to extreme events as droughts and floods. Irrigated crops, such as rice, could
...Here we develop a framework to design multi-species monitoring networks using species distribution models and conservation planning tools to optimize the location of monitoring stations to detect
...Agroforestry systems and tree cover on agricultural land make an important contribution to climate change mitigation, but are not systematically accounted for in either global carbon budgets or
...Climate change affects not only water resources but also water demand for irrigation. A large proportion of the world’s agriculture depends on groundwater, especially in arid and semi-arid
