Abstract Changes to forests due to deforestation, or their replacement by agricultural areas,
alter evapotranspiration and the partitioning of available energy. This study investigated …

A mosaic of landscapes can be seen in the semi-arid region of Brazil as a result of
anthropogenic activity (ie deforestation). These changes can lead to a reduction in soil …

The global temperature is increasing mainly due to greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in
the last century. While the overall global increase in emissions is due to fossil fuel …

Plants using crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) for photosynthesis are particularly
adapted to dry conditions, as they can focus on night-time carbon uptake and still exhibit …

The objective of this study was to evaluate growth and development in an irrigated forage
cactus–sorghum intercrop** system under different strategies for improving agricultural …

CONTEXT Soil and climatic conditions limit forage production in semi-arid environments.
Planting crops adapted to these elements, combined with management practices such as …

Increased food, feed, and biofuel demands of the future will require a greater reliance upon
crop production systems in arid and semi‐arid regions around the world. Diminishing …

Water scarcity is a problem that affects agricultural production around the world. Increasing
forage production in the semiarid region is necessary to maintain animal production, and …

Simulation models are useful tools for estimating plant response and contributing to the
development of management strategies and yield predictions in crops. This study aimed to …

This study tests the hypothesis that a more salt-excluder rootstock can attenuate salt stress
in grapevine plants by enhancing photosynthesis and providing ionic and oxidative …
