A stable, conservative variable is needed to describe the level of water-deficit stress to
which grapevines are subjected. In agronomic crops, a function based on the amount of …

The organic carbon stored in the topsoil is an essential component of the global carbon cycle
which should be quantified for a variety of purposes. The current paper proposes a new …

The availability of accurate information on the water consumed for crop irrigation is of vital
importance to support compatible and sustainable environmental policies in arid and semi-…

The current work presents the testing of a modeling strategy that has been recently developed
to simulate the gross and net carbon fluxes of Mediterranean forest ecosystems. The …

Few data are currently available on the effects of aeroallergens in triggering respiratory
symptoms in children. To evaluate the potential effects of daily outdoor aeroallergens loads on …

The availability of daily meteorological data extended over wide areas is a common requirement
for modeling vegetation processes on regional scales. The present paper investigates …

Several studies have demonstrated that Monteith's approach can efficiently predict forest gross
primary production (GPP), while the modeling of net ecosystem production (NEP) is more …

Key message The impact of climatic change should not be dramatic over Italian forests in
terms of GPP, which should increase particularly for evergreen forest types. This positive effect …

Conventional meteorological data and remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation
Index (NDVI) images can be proficiently combined to predict actual evapotranspiration (ET A ) …

Clothes are one of the most effective measures to minimize health hazards due to the current
levels of UV radiation on the earth’s surface. Fabrics made of natural fibers and dyed with …
