Insights into the Effects of Climate Variability and Agricultural Practices on Olive Orchards in Messenia, Greece: A Field Experiment Study

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Agriculture in the Mediterranean region faces increasing challenges from climate change, including drought, soil erosion, and water scarcity. This study examines sustainability of intensive olive farming practices, focusing on their effects health, management, oil quality. Field experiments were conducted Messenia Greece, renowned for its high-quality production, to evaluate impacts different agricultural techniques erosion standards. Two designed: one addressing irrigation practices (rainfed, localized, phenology-based irrigation) other investigating management strategies (herbicide use, mowing natural vegetation, planting cover crops) hilly terrain. In first year, all samples met European Commission's standards extra virgin oil. Rainfed plots produced with lower acidity but higher peroxide values 2 compared irrigated plots, indicating differences freshness oxidation. Soil data revealed significantly loss herbicide-treated those crops or vegetation. These findings underscore importance sustainable mitigating enhancing Adopting such is crucial maintaining productivity ecosystem health Mediterranean, especially under pressures change.

Analysis of Uneven Settlement of Long-Span Bridge Foundations Based on SBAS-InSAR

Remote Sensing, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(2), P. 248 - 248

Published: Jan. 11, 2025

Bridge foundation settlement monitoring is crucial for infrastructure safety management, as uneven can lead to stress redistribution, structural damage, and potentially catastrophic collapse. While traditional contact sensors provide reliable measurements, their deployment labor-intensive costly, especially long-span bridges. Current remote sensing methods have not been thoroughly evaluated capability detect analyze complex patterns in challenging environments with multiple influencing factors. Here, we applied Small Baseline Subsets Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (SBAS-InSAR) technology monitor of a bridge. Our analysis revealed distinct deformation patterns: uplift the north bank approach bridge left-side main (maximum rate: 36.97 mm/year), concurrent subsidence right-side south 35.59 mm/year). We then investigated relationship between these various environmental factors, including geological conditions, Sediment Transport Index (STI), Topographic Wetness (TWI), precipitation, temperature. The observed were attributed combined effects stratigraphic heterogeneity, dynamic hydrological seasonal climate variations. These findings demonstrate that SBAS-InSAR effectively capture processes, offering cost-effective alternative methods. This advancement could enable more widespread frequent assessment stability, ultimately improving management.

Assessment of Integrated BMPs for Subbasin-Scale Soil Erosion Reduction Considering Spatially Distributed Farmland Characteristics

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(8), P. 893 - 893

Published: April 20, 2025

Recent climate change has intensified extreme rainfall events, exacerbating soil erosion and agricultural nonpoint source pollution in South Korea’s steeply sloped farmlands. This study assessed reduction measures by applying individual Best Management Practices (BMPs) cropland expanding upon existing management efforts through the implementation of additional BMPs aimed at further reducing erosion. Furthermore, priority areas were identified based on efficiency within subbasins. For this evaluation, Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was employed, with a spatially distributed Hydrological Response Unit (SD-HRU) module calibrated Modified Universal Loss Equation (MUSLE) parameters tailored to Korean watershed conditions. Scenarios 1 2 implemented area evaluate BMP effectiveness controlling suspended sediment (SS) loads. Scenario applied set already place, while involved addition supplementary enhance control. resulted 34.6% annual 35.0% decrease SS concentration, whereas achieved 59.3% 57.3% concentration. Subbasin-scale evaluations revealed considerable spatial variability control efficiency, ranging from 1.3% 70.5%, highlighting necessity for targeted strategies. These results underscore importance employing adaptive approaches offer practical guidance enhancing sustainability, particularly regions vulnerable hydrometeorological events.
