(CSIRO Publishing, 2015)Spatial variability of soil hydraulic properties helps to understand the complexity and dynamic patterns of solute distributions in soils. This study assessed the effects of slurry additions and soil physical properties ...
-
(Public Library Science, 2015)Food habit studies are among the first steps used to understand wildlife-habitat relationships. However, these studies are in themselves insufficient to understand differences in population productivity and life histories, ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2015)Plant breeding based on grain yield (GY) is an expensive and time-consuming method, so new indirect estimation techniques to evaluate the performance of crops represent an alternative method to improve grain yield. The ...
-
(IEEE, 2015)A multistructural object-based LiDAR approach to predict plant richness in complex structure forests is presented. A normalized LiDAR point cloud was split into four height ranges: 1) high canopies (points above 16 m); 2) ...
