The Mediterranean regions are submitted to a large variety of climates. In general, the
environments are arid and semi-arid with summers characterised by high temperatures and …

Heat pulse methods can be used for accurate measurements of sap flow in plant stems
provided a reliable calibration procedure is used to relate the measured heat pulse velocity …

Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer,
covers the entire field of water relations using current concepts and consistent terminology …

Plant water-use strategy is considered to be a function of the complex interactions between
species of different functional types and the prevailing environmental conditions. The …

The main objective of this work was to study the feasibility of using the green red vegetation
index (GRVI) and the red edge ratio (RE/R) obtained from UAS imagery for monitoring the …

Implementation of urban greenery is a widely adopted mitigation strategy to reducing the
Urban Heat Island effect. Many studies have shown that urban greenery is effective in …

High‐frequency drip irrigation supplies water and nutrients at a rate that is close to plant
uptake, thus enhancing growth and production. In light of water scarcity in arid regions …

Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the high tolerance of sorghum
[Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] to drought. This paper reports a field study on the effects of …

Sap-flow (SF) measurements provide unique and valuable data for studying plant water
relations and crop water use. In this study we utilize new developments in heat pulse theory …

Global climate change presents a threat for the environment, and it is aggravated by the
mismanagement of water use in the agricultural sector. Since plants are the intermediate …
