Abstract:
... Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is one of the most optimal fruit trees for economy and ecology in many semiarid regions. However, with water as a scarce resource, the strategy for irrigation and applied nitrogen (Napp) management need to be identified. The goal of this project was to determine the effects of irrigation and Napp on jujube yield, water use efficiency (WUE) and agronomic nitrogen use ...

Abstract:
... Several functional-structural plant models have been built for studying fruit trees, most of which focus on single trees. Simulating an entire orchard has been a difficulty due to two challenges: one is in computing, limited by processor capability and memory capacity, as well as the sequential nature of conventional approaches; the other is the modelling of plant-plant and plant-environmental int ...

Abstract:
... Biological invasions and climate changes are the major causes of changes in biodiversity, which reduce, shift, and extinguish species ranges. While climate changes have been widely used in systematic conservation planning (SCP), biological invasions are rarely considered. Here, we combine the effects of climate changes and Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (Moraceae) invasion on the SCP for endemic ar ...

Spatial awareness and memory are key factors for a robot to evolve in semi-structured and dynamic environments as those found in agriculture, and particularly in fruit crops where the trees are regularly distributed. This paper proposes a probabilistic method for mapping out-of-structure objects (weeds, workers, machines, fallen branches, etc.) using a Kernel density estimator. The methodology has ...
