Effects of light stress on wheat and rye varieties grain composition
Franco-Grandas T., Álvarez-López V., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Integrating woody perennials and agricultural crops combined is a centuries-old practice, nowadays called agroforestry. Because agroforestry is being promoted by public administrations, it is essential to obtain scientific knowledge about the effect of different factors (e.g. tree shade) on crop...Read more

Precipitation variability, trends and extremes for the region of the Arabian Peninsula
Patlakas P., Stathopoulos C., Kallos G., (Corresponding) Flocas H.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The Arabian Peninsula is generally known as a region characterized by low annual precipitation amounts and a great seasonal and spatial variability. However, its location and geomorphological characteristics lead to diverse climatic conditions in different sub-regions and smaller scales. At the...Read more
