Aerial spectral index analysis for differential management zone delineation in a maize field

Tsakmakis I., Panagopoulos S., (Corresponding) Gikas G., Sylaios G.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Inhomogeneities of soil properties are responsible for within-field variations on plants’ growth and final yield. In this paper, initially, the variations of a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) field map obtained through a camera mounted on a drone were correlated with soil and plant...Read more

Effect of Castanea sativa plantation age on soil bacterial communities

(Corresponding) Alvarez-Lopez V., Ferreiro-Dominguez N., Mosquera-Losada R.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Soil microbial communities are involved in key processes of forest ecosystems that include decomposition of organic matter, cycling of nutrients or formation of structure. The composition and diversity of these communities depend on a large number of factors such as humidity, pH, nutrient levels, C...Read more

Season Dynamics of Pollution and Changes in Enzymatic Activity in Agricultural Soil near an Industrial Area

(Corresponding) Sukiasyan A., Kirakosyan A.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The aim of the study was to assess the ecological condition of soils in three regions in Armenia - Hrazdan, Gavar, and Martuni. It was shown that the soil samples from the three regions had low humus content in winter. However, in spring and summer, a significant increase in humus content was...Read more

Solar parks effect on soil properties: Initial results

Du Hamel A., Papadopoulos A., (Corresponding) Pantera A.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Solar power generation in Greece has only been increasing since the 1980s to become the main source of renewable energy. Today, around 4.1 million m2 of Greek land is covered by solar parks. This article starts with a literature review on how the photovoltaic panels impact their environment and on...Read more
