Open AccessPre- and post-harvest evapotranspiration, carbon exchange and water use efficiency of a mature peach orchard in semi-arid climate
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 t...

Almond responses to a single season of severe irrigation water restrictions
A substantial area of the new almond plantations in Spain is under irrigation, but due to recurring severe droughts, the irrigation water allocation for agriculture can be drastically reduced eventually. This ...

Long-term almond yield response to deficit irrigation
A substantial area of the new almond plantations in Spain is under irrigation but because of water scarcity, deficit irrigation (DI) strategies have to be adopted. This study assesses the long-term sustainabil...

Water requirements of mature almond trees in response to atmospheric demand
Accurate methods to determine irrigation requirements are necessary for the efficient use of water in agriculture. We conducted measurements of transpiration (T) of one almond tree placed in a large weighing lysi...

Yield response of almond trees to transpiration deficits
Irrigation optimization under limited water supply requires knowledge of the relation between consumptive use and production. The recent expansion of almond production is highly dependent on irrigation which m...

Analysing the combined effect of wetted area and irrigation volume on olive tree transpiration using a SPAC model with a multi-compartment soil solution
In this paper, we analyse the combined effect of wetted area and irrigation volume and its impact on olive tree transpiration (E p) after validating a multi-compartment SPAC model in a dri...

Using sap flow measurements to estimate net assimilation in olive trees under different irrigation regimes
The measurement of bulk net assimilation (A) in fruit tree species is hindered by the need for sophisticated and complex instrumentation. The aim of this study is to present a simple alternative for estimating A ...

Transpiration of young almond trees in relation to intercepted radiation
Increased water scarcity demands more efficient use of water in the agricultural sector which is the primary consumer of water. Precise determination of irrigation requirements based on specific crop parameter...
