Improvements of Relative Indicators of Trunk Diameter Fluctuations in Comparison to Discrete Indicators in the Regulated Deficit Irrigation Scheduling of Olive Trees

Daily cycles of trunk fluctuations are used to measure plant water status. However, the traditional indicators derived from these curves constrains the selection of thresholds. The aim of this work was to evaluate a new indicator based on maximum daily shrinkage (MDS). The experi...

Economic performance of FAO-56 crop coefficient and Allen & Pereira approaches for irrigation scheduling in super-high-density olive orchards

Increasing pressure on water resources in Mediterranean agriculture requires irrigation scheduling strategies that optimize both water-use efficiency and farm profitability. While the FAO-56 crop coefficient approach is the most widely used method for estimating crop water requir...

Bivalve Gut Microbiome Responses to Sediment Characteristics and Anthropogenic Activities in Cerastoderma edule (Linnaeus, 1758)

Abstract Estuaries are dynamic ecosystems influenced by fluctuating environmental conditions and sediment-associated contamination, which may affect host-associated microbiomes. This study investigated the gut microbiome of the bivalve Cerastoderma edule across three estuarine si...
