Above-ground biomass equations for Pinus radiata D. Don in Asturias
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2013)Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to develop a model for above-ground biomass estimation for Pinus radiata D. Don in Asturias. Area of study: Asturias (NE of Spain). Material and methods: Different models ... -
Above-ground biomass estimation of arable crops using UAV-based SfM photogrammetry
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-12-03)Methods of estimating the total amount of above-ground biomass (AGB) in crop fields are generally based on labourious, random, and destructive in situ sampling. This study proposes a methodology for estimating herbaceous ... -
Acidogenesis is a key step in the anaerobic biotransformation of organic micropollutants
(Elsevier, 2020)Understanding the role of the different anaerobic digestion stages on the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) is essential to mitigate their release from wastewater treatment plants. This study assessed the fate of ... -
Acondicionamiento de un compost salino para su uso como sustrato de cultivo
(Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. Servizo de Publicacións e Intercambio Científico, 2012)Cada vez es más común el uso de compost en la elaboración de sustratos de cultivo, pero uno de los inconvenientes más frecuentes que presentan este tipo de materiales para ser utilizados como sustrato es su elevada ... -
Adsorption of an anionic dye (Congo red) from aqueous solutions by pine bark
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Pinus pinaster bark, an abundant by-product from the timber industry, has been studied as a potential low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Congo red (CR) dye from wastewaters. Surface morphological and physico-chemical ... -
Agroforestry creates carbon sinks whilst enhancing the environment in agricultural landscapes in Europe
(Elsevier, 2019)Agroforestry, relative to conventional agriculture, contributes significantly to carbon sequestration, increases a range of regulating ecosystem services, and enhances biodiversity. Using a transdisciplinary approach, we ... -
Agronomic Practices for Reducing Soil Erosion in Hillside Vineyards under Atlantic Climatic Conditions (Galicia, Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)Water erosion is a severe threat to soil resources, especially on cultivated lands, such as vineyards, which are extremely susceptible to soil losses. In this context, management practices aiming at reducing erosion risks ... -
Air-side ammonia stripping coupled to anaerobic digestion indirectly impacts anaerobic microbiome
(Wiley, 2019)Air‐side stripping without a prior solid–liquid phase separation step is a feasible and promising process to control ammonia concentration in thermophilic digesters. During the process, part of the anaerobic biomass is ... -
Algorithm based on simulated annealing for land use allocation
(Elsevier, 2007-09-02)This article describes the use of simulated annealing for allocation of land units to a set of possible uses on, the basis of their suitability for those uses, and the compactness of the total areas allotted to the same ... -
Alignment of Hyperspectral Images Using KAZE Features
(MDPI, 2018)Image registration is a common operation in any type of image processing, specially in remote sensing images. Since the publication of the scale–invariant feature transform (SIFT) method, several algorithms based on feature ... -
Allometric Equations for Estimating Biomass and Carbon Stocks in the Temperate Forests of North-Western Mexico
(MDPI, 2017)This paper presents new equations for estimating above-ground biomass (AGB) and biomass components of seventeen forest species in the temperate forests of northwestern Mexico. A data set corresponding to 1336 destructively ... -
Ambiente e desenvolvemento rural. Proxecto LIFE99 ENV/E/00286 "Rehabilitación Tambre I Proxecto Piloto"
(Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 2002)Este traballo comenta os aspectos máis significativos do proceso proxectual seguido desde o encargo de realizar unha candidatura á Iniciativa LIFE-MEDIO AMBIENTE, ata a actualidade, cando faltan escasos meses para finaliza-la ... -
An alternative planning paradigm for coastal landscapes and tourism: spatial metrics as indicators for planning coastal tourism landscapes
(Universidade do Algarve, 2018)Coastal urbanization dynamics in the Algarve are intimately related with tourism, which dominates the regional economy. We present part of the results of a research project in the coastal landscapes of Algarve, focusing ... -
An Analysis of Non-State and State Approaches for Forest Certification in Mexico
(MDPI, 2017)Mexico has had a non-state forest certification system under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) since it was initiated in 1993, and developed a new state-sponsored Mexican Forest Certification System (MFCS) that began ... -
An environmental evaluation of food supply chain using life cycle assessment: A case study on gluten free biscuit products
