Water Deficit Effect on the Relationship between Temperature during the Seed Fill Period and Soybean Seed Oil and Protein Concentrations
(Crop Science Society of America, 2009-05-01)Since most soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed is processed into meal and oil, there is a growing concern about environmental effects on soybean seed composition. The aim of this work was to investigate how water deficit ... -
Water Footprint in paddy rice systems. Its determination in theprovinces of Santa Fe and Entre Ríos, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015-09)In the context of social responsibility and, of the directives aimed at an integral management of natural resources, the Water Footprint (WF) has been widely spread as an indicator that contributes to a safe and sustainable ... -
Water productivity and net profit of high-density olive orchards in San Juan, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021-04-08)Olive cultivation in Argentina has experienced an important expansion based on large-scale development of high density (HD) olive orchards. Intensification has led to yield increases, but, because of the high annual ETo ... -
Water productivity in soybean following a cover crop in a humid environment
(Elsevier, 2020-02-05)We evaluated the influence of the termination dates of a winter cover crop on (i) soil water availability during soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr)) growing season, (ii) soybean evapotranspiration (ET) and iii) water productivity ... -
Water regulation by grasslands: a global meta‐analysis
(Wiley Online Library, 2018-06-03)Grasslands have been modified and replaced worldwide and have affected water regulation ecosystem services. In order to support public policies attending to the consequences of different grassland modifications and ... -
Water relations, biochemical – physiological and yield responses of olive trees (Olea europaea L. cvs. Arbequina and Manzanilla) under drought stress during the pre-flowering and flowering period
(Elsevier, 2013-07)In arid and semiarid regions from Argentina, where the main olive production areas are located, evapotranspiration is high and rainfall is minimal during winter and spring months, as compared with the Mediterranean region ... -
Water status of plants under strips management in shrub-grass steppe of Southern Patagonia
(IRC, 2011-04-02)In the province of Santa Cruz Junellia tridens shrublands cover 2,8 million ha. These cummunities grow on site with coarser textured soil are dominated by 60-70 cm tall shrubs. Water is the most important factor regulating ... -
Water table contribution to alfalfa water use in different environments of the Argentine Pampas
(Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2002)In the Argentine Pampas, although the water table is considered an important source of water supply for the alfalfa crop, it has not been previously quantified.The goal of this study was to estimate ... -
Water table depth affects persistence and productivity of alfalfa in Central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2019-04)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most sown perennial legumes in the world. Water table depth can be both an opportunity and a threat for this crop. In this study we analyzed 20 years of field experimental data ... -
Water temperature and microenvironmental factors predict the presence and detection of the snail host of Fasciola hepatica in Andean Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2024-07)The transmission of Fasciola hepatica occurs only where there are -or recently were- aquatic or amphibious snails of the Lymnaeidae family, the intermediate host of this parasite. Direct detection of these snails is ... -
Water use of wheat, corn and sunflower in the semiarid pampas = Uso del agua por trigo, maíz y girasol en la región semiárida pampeana
(Asociación Argentina de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2017)Crop water use in semiarid environments allows designing management strategies to improve water use efficiency. Our objective was to estimate wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.) and sunflower (Helianthus ... -
Water use, root activity and deep drainage within a perennial legume-grass pasture: a case study in southern inland Queensland, Australia = Uso de agua, actividad radicular y drenaje profundo en una pastura leguminosa-gramínea perenne: Un estudio de caso en el sur de Queensland, Australia
(CIAT, 2016-09)Water use and depth of water extraction of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) pasture, irrigated with desalinated coal seam water (a by-product of the coal seam gas industry), were monitored ... -
Water-mediated changes in plant–plant and biological soil crust–plant interactions in a temperate forest ecosystem
(Copernicus Publications, 2019-04-09)In the quest to understand how biotic interactions respond to climate change, one area that remains poorly explored is how interactions involving organisms other than vascular plants will respond. However the interactions ... -
Water: tools and functions to estimate actual evapotranspiración using Land Surface Energy Balance Models in R
(2016-12)The crop water requirement is a key factor in the agricultural process. It is usually estimated throughout actual evapotranspiration (ETa). This parameter is the key to develop irrigation strategies, to improve water use ... -
Weak trophic links between a crab-spider and the effective pollinators of a rewardless orchid
(2015-01)Sit and wait predators hunting on flowers are considered to be exploiters of plant–pollinator mutualisms. Several studies have shown that plant–pollinator interactions can be highly susceptible to the impact of a third ... -
