Area under vegetable cultivation is expanding in arid and semi-arid regions of the world to
meet the nutritional requirements of an ever-growing population. However, water scarcity in …

In an effort to improve plant growth and to achieve high yield and/or quality, irrigation
scheduling (IS) seeks to provide plants with appropriate quantities of water at appropriate …

As evaporation of water is an energy-demanding process, increasing evapotranspiration
rates decrease the surface temperature (Ts) of leaves and plants. Based on this principle …

This paper deals with the assessment of heterogeneity in water status in a commercial
orchard, as a prerequisite for precision irrigation management. Remote sensing-derived …

Plant wearable sensors have potential to provide continuous measurements of plant
physiological information. However, stable and high-fidelity monitoring of plants with …

Water availability is endangering the production, quality, and economic viability of growing
wine grapes worldwide. Climate change projections reveal warming and drying trends for …

Separating continuously measured stem radius (SR) fluctuations into growth‐induced
irreversible stem expansion (GRO) and tree water deficit‐induced reversible stem shrinkage …

Vegetation and the water cycles are inherently coupled across a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Water availability interacts with plant ecophysiology and controls …

Water scarcity in Mediterranean climate areas will be progressively aggravated by climate
change, population increase and urban, tourism and industrial activities. To protect water …

In Europe, most greenhouse vegetable crops are grown in soil. Where soilless systems are
used, apart from in The Netherlands, Belgium and France, they are mostly free-draining …
