Open AccessEvaluation of transpiration in different almond production systems with two-source energy balance models from UAV thermal and multispectral imagery
A growing number of intensive irrigated production systems of the almond crop have been established in recent years. However, there is little information regarding the crop water requirements. Remote sensing-b...

Open AccessCumulative response of Tempranillo vines to the crop forcing technique and pre-forcing and post-veraison water stress in terms of yield and grape and wine quality
Elevated temperatures during berry ripening are detrimental to grape quality. The crop forcing technique (summer pruning that ‘forces’ the vine to start a new cycle) increases must acidity and malic acid conce...

Modelling the impacts of cover crop management strategies on the water use, carbon exchange and yield of olive orchards
Cover crops have long been proposed as an alternative soil management for minimizing erosion rates in olive stands while providing additional ecosystem services. However, the trade-off between these benefits a...

Open AccessEvaluating different metrics from the thermal-based two-source energy balance model for monitoring grapevine water stress
Precision irrigation management requires operational monitoring of crop water status. However, there is still some controversy on how to account for crop water stress. To address this question, several physiol...

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...

A soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) model for simulating tree transpiration with a soil multi-compartment solution
A soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) model for simulating tree transpiration (Ep) with variable water stress and water distribution in the soil is presented. The model couples a sun/shade approach for the can...

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 ...

Low winter temperatures induce a disturbance of water relations in field olive trees
Low winter temperatures induce an increase in the soil-to-trunk hydraulic resistance of field-grown olive trees resulting in a significant disturbance of their water relations.
