Soil Nutrients Effects on the Performance of Durum Wheat Inoculated with Entomopathogenic Fungi
(MDPI, 2020)
Entomopathogenic fungi (EFs) are widely used as biological control agents. However, some strains of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium brunneum can also promote plant growth and increase nutrient uptake. We examined the ...
Almond Anthracnose: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives
(MDPI, 2020)
Almond anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. has been described as one of the most important diseases of this nut crop in the main almond-growing regions worldwide, including California, Australia and Spain. Currently, ...
Open-Source Application for Water Supply System Management: Implementation in a Water Transmission System in Southern Spain
(MDPI, 2021)
Sustainable water use has become a critical issue for the future of the planet in face of highly probable climate change. The drinking water supply sector has made significant progress over the last 20 years, although ...
Sustainable Water-Energy Nexus towards Developing Countries’ Water Sector Efficiency
(MDPI, 2021)

Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Droughts in Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
Drought is an important natural hazard that is expected to increase in frequency and intensity as a consequence of climate change. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of future changes in the temperature and precipitation ...
Is new olive farming sustainable? A spatial comparison of productive and environmental performances between traditional and new olive orchards with the model OliveCan
(Elsevier, 2020)
Olive (Olea europaea L.) is a widely spread tree species in the Mediterranean. In the last decades, olive farming has known major management changes with high economic and environmental impacts. The fast track expansion ...
Pre- and post-harvest evapotranspiration, carbon exchange and water use efficiency of a mature peach orchard in semi-arid climate
(Springer, 2022)
Better knowledge of the evapotranspiration and carbon exchange of fruit trees is needed to optimize the trade-off between water use and carbon assimilation and to better understand the role of agriculture in the biogeochemical ...
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 ...
Seasonal Climate Forecast Skill Assessment for the Management of Water Resources in a Run of River Hydropower System in the Poqueira River (Southern Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)
Run of river (RoR) hydropower systems, despite being one of the most cost-effective and environmentally benign energy technologies, have the disadvantage that production is not constant because it is subject to a high ...
