Soil predisposing factors to fusarium oxysporum f.sp Cubense tropical race 4 on banana crops of La Guajira, Colombia
(MDPI, 2023)Fusarium wilt of banana caused by the soil-borne fungi Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) (Syn. Fusarium odoratissimum), is a major threat to the global banana industry. Aiming to identify ... -
Soil Salinity Patterns in an Olive Grove Irrigated with Reclaimed Table Olive Processing Wastewater
(MDPI, 2022)The agricultural use of saline table olive processing wastewater enables the implementation of closed water cycles in this socioeconomically important industry for rural southern Spain and relieves environmental, economic, ... -
Some problems of the determination of best management practices to maintain the quality of agricultural soils
(2017-11-28)In spite of the great effort of scientific research exploring the influence of agricultural practices on soil quality, many aspects remain unclear, possibly precluding a more general adoption of the best management systems ... -
Spatial crop-water variations in rainfed wheat systems: From simulation modelling to site-specific management
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2022)In sloping fields, rainfed crops experience different degrees of water stress caused by spatial variations in water and, consequently, yields also vary spatially within a field. This offers opportunities for precision ... -
Spatio-temporal analysis of nitrogen variations in an irrigation distribution network using reclaimed water for irrigating olive trees
(Elsevier, 2022)Fertigation management of olive grove is highly complex, especially when reclaimed water is used for irrigation. Nitrogen (N) is the main nutrient component of olive trees which, traditionally, has led to an excessive use ... -
Stochastic Flow Analysis for Optimization of the Operationality in Run-of-River Hydroelectric Plants in Mountain Areas
(MDPI, 2024)The highly temporal variability of the hydrological response in Mediterranean areas affects the operation of hydropower systems, especially in run-of-river (RoR) plants located in mountainous areas. Here, the water flow ... -
Streptomyces spp. strains as potential biological control agents against verticillium wilt of olive
(MDPI, 2024)Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO) caused by Verticillium dahliae is considered a major olive (Olea europaea) disease in Mediterranean-type climate regions. The lack of effective chemical products against VWO makes it necessary ... -
Study of snow dynamics at subgrid scale in semiarid environments combining terrestrial photography and data assimilation techniques
(American Meteorology Society, 2015)Snow cover simulation is a complex task in mountain regions because of its highly irregular distribution. GIS-based calculations of snowmelt–accumulation models must deal with nonnegligible scale effects below cell size, ... -
Subgrid parameterization of snow distribution at a Mediterranean site using terrestrial photography
(EGU, 2017)Subgrid variability introduces non-negligible scale effects on the grid-based representation of snow. This heterogeneity is even more evident in semiarid regions, where the high variability of the climate produces various ... -
Sustainability of olive growing in the Mediterranean area under future climate scenarios: Exploring the effects of intensification and deficit irrigation
(Elsevier, 2021)Olive orchards represent a key agricultural system with high economic and environmental prominence. Expected future climate tendencies over the Mediterranean could threaten the sustainability of such strategic tree crop. ... -
Sustainable Water-Energy Nexus towards Developing Countries’ Water Sector Efficiency
(MDPI, 2021)Water management and energy recovery can improve a system’s sustainability and efficiency in a cost-effective solution. This research assesses the renewable energy sources used in the water sector, as well as the related ... -
Terrestrial photography as an alternative to satellite images to study snow cover evolution at hillslope scale
(SPIE, 2012)In Mediterranean regions, where the water shortage is a serious and recurrent problem, it is essential to know the behaviour and evolution of the snow. Satellite remote sensing is widely used to find out the evolution of ... -

Técnicas de predicción a corto plazo de la demanda de agua. Aplicación agrícola.
(Fundación para el Fomento de la Ingeniería del Agua, 2002)La demanda de agua es la magnitud de referencia en la gestión óptima de los sistemas de distribución. En este trabajo se propone la estimación de la demanda en las próximas 24 horas en un sistema de distribución de agua ... -
The chronic intake of a Mediterranean diet enriched in virgin olive oil, decreases nuclear transcription factor kappaB activation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy men
(Elsevier, 2007)Objetive Nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB) plays a key role in the inflammatory response and can be modulate by dietary fat. We have examined the effect of three diets, with different fat composition, on the activation ... -
The Effect of Tree-Uprooting on the Soil Spatial Complexity in an Old-Growth Temperate Forest, Central Europe
(MDPI, 2022)The formation of spatial pedocomplexity in forested landscapes is an issue that has not yet been comprehensively resolved. This study analysed the effects of tree disturbances on the spatial variability of soil chemical ... -
The olive microbiome and its role in modulating host response to Verticillium dahliae: unraveling the determining and modifying factors
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2023)Olive tree (Olea europaea subsp. europaea) is one of the oldest cultivated trees in the world and plays a critical role in the sustainability of Mediterranean ecosystems. As an agricultural system with important economic, ... -
The Self-Seeding of Anthemis arvensis L. for Cover Crop in Olive Groves under Intense Rabbit Grazing
(MDPI, 2020)Cover crops can be an effective means to protect soil and reduce risks of erosion in olive groves. However, for this protection to be significant, the vegetation must attain a significant amount of ground cover, which is ... -
Three Groups of Transposable Elements with Contrasting Copy Number Dynamics and Host Responses in the Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) Genome
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Most angiosperm nuclear DNA is repetitive and derived from silenced transposable elements (TEs). TE silencing requires substantial resources from the plant host, including the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). ... -
