Forests are essential in regulating global carbon and water cycles and are critical in
mitigating climate change. Water-use efficiency, defined by the ratio of plant productivity per …

Agriculture consumes more than two thirds of the total freshwater of the planet. This issue
causes substantial conflict in freshwater allocation between agriculture and other economic …

Irrigation is an important measure for increasing grain production. Improving water use
efficiency in agriculture is expected to play a very important role in ensuring food and water …

To alleviate the salinity and drought stresses faced in agricultural production, and to improve
crop water use efficiency (WUE) in drought-prone regions, novel management strategies are …

More than 70% of fresh water is used in agriculture in many parts of the world, but
competition for domestic and industrial water use is intense. For future global food security …

Background A large proportion of vineyards are located in regions with seasonal drought
(eg Mediterranean-type climates) where soil and atmospheric water deficits, together with …

Water is critical for viticulture sustainability since grape production, quality and economic
viability are largely dependent on water availability. The total water consumption of …

Abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity constantly threaten food security. Biochar as a
soil amendment has the potential to ameliorate soil and alleviate drought and salinity stress …

Abstract Knowledge of the dynamics of plant nitrogen (N) uptake at varying irrigation water
levels is critical for strategizing increased N recovery efficiency (NRE), water use efficiency …

Globally, agriculture accounts for 80–90% of all freshwater used by humans, and most of
that is in crop production. In many areas, this water use is unsustainable; water supplies are …
