Abstract:
... The current commercial technologies for mass harvesting fruit are based on the application of forced vibration to the tree, which is transmitted to the fruits causing their detachment. The dynamic behaviour of the plant under forced vibration is of special interest to improve the design and use of the machinery. The objective of this work is to determine the effect of fruit and leaves on the dynam ...

Abstract:
... Large-scale afforestation is a primary tool for combatting desertification and global warming. However, the consequences for future ecosystems are complex and poorly understood. To judge the payback from afforestation in arid regions, we assessed the effects of the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, which is the world’s largest ecological restoration program, in predominantly semi-arid to arid re ...

Abstract:
... In Mediterranean climates, many deciduous fruit trees are unable to meet their seasonal chill requirements, a situation that may be exacerbated by global warming. Modeling approaches can be used to assess the impacts of climate change on tree crops for the past and forecast possible impacts for the future. We apply modeling approaches to assess climate change impacts on Chilean fruit production in ...

Abstract:
... Droughts and heatwaves are both dangerous natural hazards with a potential significant impact on human societies. In order to understand these hazards, it is important to examine such extreme events in the past. During the years 1471 to 1474, warm and dry weather conditions are described in most parts of Europe. Until now, these extraordinary years have not been examined in depth. Moreover, in spr ...

When casein was used as substrate, the expressed activities were 60%, 58%, 41% and 14%, respectively, very likely due to casein diffusional limitations. As expected, an increase of the concentration of either f ...

Abstract:
... Fig‐pollinating wasps (Agaonidae) only reproduce within fig tree inflorescences (figs). Agaonid offspring sex ratios are usually female‐biased and often concur with local mate competition theory (LMC). LMC predicts less female‐bias when several foundresses reproduce in a fig due to reduced relatedness among intra‐sexually competing male offspring. Clutch size, the offspring produced by each foundr ...
