Soil moisture (SM) is a key hydrologic state variable that is of significant importance for
numerous Earth and environmental science applications that directly impact the global …

Increasing consciousness regarding the nutritional value of olive oil has enhanced the
demand for this product and, consequently, the expansion of olive tree cultivation. Although …

Stomatal closure is the first reaction to drought stress in most plants. Stomatal closure
prevents water loss from transpirational pathways. Stomatal closure is more closely related …

Abstract The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) has recently been proposed for
estimation of soil moisture using only optical remote sensing data. The model relies on a …

The hypothesis that aquaporins and carbonic anhydrase (CA) are involved in the regulation
of stomatal (gs) and mesophyll (gm) conductance to CO2 was tested in a short-term water …

Mixing species with contrasting resource use strategies could reduce forest vulnerability to
extreme events. Yet, how species diversity affects seedling hydraulic responses to heat and …

In this work we give an overview of both morphological characteristics and physiological
mechanisms responsible for the high adaptability of olive to harsh environments, and how …

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of droughts and
heatwaves in Europe, leading to effects on forest growth and major forest dieback events …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important food crop that belongs to family Gramineae and needs
a larger amount of water to complete its life cycle as compared to other crops. Hence, rice …

Soil drought and salinity are stresses that seriously restrict plant productivity. Water and salt
stress often occur simultaneously or sequentially in the heavily irrigated field in the arid and …
