According to the energy balance closure, the SRCas method was as reliable as the EC in estimating the turbulent fluxes related to irrigated agriculture and watershed distribution management, even when applied in heterogeneous cropping systems.
Our results showed that irrigated and unirrigated olive groves were associated with a biodiversity deficit of amphibians and reptiles respectively, whereas natural forests and pastures, along with more heterogeneous crops areas, were more suitable.
A heterogeneous mixture of crop and non-crop habitats characterized the complex landscape (40.6% of non-crop habitat), while the simple landscape was more uniform and contained less non-crop habitat (28.6%).
To this end, it reviews the role that slash-and-burn cultivation has had in discussions about pre-Columbian Amazonia, discusses how this account has been modified by recent research on pre-Columbian anthropogenic soils, and queries the extent to which the regionally-heterogeneous timing of crop domestication and cultivation may have influenced the fire history of pre-Columbian Amazonia.
To successfully integrate all the different resources, e.g. genetic information and gene expression measurements, for these crop species, heterogeneous datasets need to be combined.
A number of the trials conducted were not used in this analysis due to crop failure, heterogeneous growth due to edaphic constraints other than low P, such as soil crusting and variable depth of soil hard-pan and planting errors.
In this paper, based on agronomic and ecological literature we highlight the heterogeneous properties of the cropping system mosaics in space and time, and the implications of this "hidden" heterogeneity for controlling of arthropod population dynamics and persistence.
This study aims at an evaluation of the optimum number of acquisition dates and most suitable temporal windows for the discrimination of crops over heterogeneous agricultural landscapes utilizing multitemporal data from the RapidEye satellite constellation.
The model is run using a stylised map with heterogeneous soil types and both crop growing and mixed dairy farms.
