) across most frequent environmental scenarios in the European growing area. Yield gains were linked to physiologically simple traits (plant phenology and architecture) which indirectly affected reproductive development and light interception in all studied environments, marked by significant genomic signatures of selection. Conversely, studied physiological processes involved in stress adaptation remained phenotypically unchanged (e.g. stomatal conductance and growth sensitivity to drought) …


Technical note: A view from space on global flux towers by MODIS and Landsat: the FluxnetEO data set

Abstract. The eddy-covariance technique measures carbon, water, and energy fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere at hundreds of sites globally. Collections of standardised and homogenised flux estimates such as the LaThuile, Fluxnet2015, National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS), AsiaFlux, AmeriFlux, and Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN)/OzFlux data sets are invaluable to study land surface processes and vegetation fun…


Low level of anthropization linked to harsh vertebrate biodiversity declines in Amazonia

Authors: Isabel Cantera, Opale Coutant, Céline Jezequel, Jean‐Baptiste Decotte, Tony Déjean, Amaia Iribar et al.

Matched topics: hydrology, hydropower

Assessing the impact of human activity on ecosystems often links local biodiversity to disturbances measured within the same locality. However, remote disturbances may also affect local biodiversity. Here, we used environmental DNA metabarcoding to evaluate the relationships between vertebrate biodiversity (fish and mammals) and disturbance intensity in two Amazonian rivers. Measurements of anthropic disturbance -here forest cover losses- were made from the immediate vicinity of the biodivers…


Minimizing environmental impacts of solar farms: a review of current science on landscape hydrology and guidance on stormwater management

Authors: Rouhangiz Yavari, Demetrius Zaliwciw, R. Cibin, L. McPhillips

Journal: Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability · DOI: 10.1088/2634-4505/ac76dd · Citations: 51

Matched topics: hydrology

As solar energy becomes an increasingly cheap source of renewable energy, major utility-scale ground solar panel installations, often called ‘solar farms’, are rapidly growing. With these solar farms often covering hundreds of acres, there is the potential for impacts on natural hydrologic processes, including runoff generation and erosion. Here we review the current state of scientific research on the hydrology and water quality impacts of solar farms, as well as management recommendations f…


Too hot to handle? On the cooling capacity of urban green spaces in a Neotropical Mexican city

Authors: Richard Lemoine-Rodríguez, Luis Inostroza, Ina Falfán, Ian MacGregor‐Fors

Journal: Urban forestry & urban greening · DOI: 10.1016/j.ufug.2022.127633 · Citations: 49

Matched topics: land surface model

Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, which can be mitigated by urban vegetation through shading and evapotranspiration. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of spatially explicit information on the cooling capacity of green infrastructure for most Latin American cities. In this study, we employed Land Surface Temperature (LST) of the Neotropical Mexican city of Xalapa to (1) analyze its Surface UHI (SUHI) compared to its peri and …

Potential of UAV-based sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence to detect water stress in sugar beet

Authors: Na Wang, J.G.P.W. Clevers, Sebastian Wieneke, Harm Bartholomeus, Lammert Kooistra

Matched topics: irrigation

Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is a direct indicator of plant photosynthetic activities and can potentially indicate plant physiological changes caused by water stress. However, the direct effect of water stress on the physiological SIF responses in crops at the field level still needs further research to clearly understand the involved mechanisms. To study this relationship, we made use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which are flexible and cost-effective to acquire SIF data …
