The unprecedented pressure posed by a growing population on water resources generates
a significant shortage between the available resources and water demand, which together …

The increasing world population and expected climate scenarios impel the agricultural
sector towards a more efficient use of water. The scientific community is responding to that …

Thorough knowledge of root system functioning is essential to understand the feedback
loops between plants, soil, and climate. In situ characterization of root systems is …

We have studied the effects of partial root-zone drying (PRD) on plant physiological
response, plant-soil water dynamics, yield and fruit quality of young orange trees during the …

The water uptake rate is a key parameter for improving irrigation efficiency and represents
an indicator of tree health and yield. Here, we investigate the potential of C-band Synthetic …

There is a gap between lab experiments where resistivity–soil moisture relations are
generally very good and field studies in complex environmental settings where relations are …

Understanding the processes that control mass and energy exchanges between soil, plants
and the atmosphere plays a critical role for understanding the root zone system, but it is also …

This paper provides an update on the fast‐evolving field of the induced polarization method
applied to biogeophysics. It emphasizes recent advances in the understanding of the …

Wine quality is affected by environmental factors in the location where the vines are
cultivated, in particular the soil and the climate. Major soil-related factors influencing vine …

This paper presents a time-lapse application of electrical methods (electrical resistivity
tomography, ERT; and mise-à-la-masse, MALM) for monitoring plant roots and their activity …
