Scientific Results

This catalogue is obtained by conducting a systematic literature review of scientific studies and reviews related to monitoring, forecasting, and simulating the inland water cycle. The analysis maps scientific expertise across research groups and classifies findings by the type of inland water studied, application focus, and geographical scope. A gap analysis will identify missing research areas and assess their relevance to policymaking.

González-Real , Rafael Domingo , Alain Baille Partial rootzone drying improves almond tree leaf-level water use efficiency and afternoon water status compared with regulated deficit irrigation 10.1071/fp10247 Uncategorized Precipitation & Ecological Systems To determine whether partial rootzone drying (PRD) optimised leaf gas exchange and soil–plant water relations in almond (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb) compared with regulated deficit irrigation (RDI), a 2 year trial was conducted on field-grown trees in a semiarid climate. Five irrigation treatments were established: full irrigation (FI) where the trees were irrigated at 100% of the standard crop evapotranspiration (ETc); three PRD treatments (PRD70, PRD50 and PRD30) that applied 70, 50 and 30% ETc, respectively; and a commercially practiced RDI treatment that applied 50% ETc during the kernel-filling stage and 100% ETc during the remainder of the growth season. Measurements of volumetric soil moisture content in the soil profile (0–100 cm), predawn leaf water potential (Ψpd), midday stem water potential (Ψms), midday leaf gas exchange and trunk diameter fluctuations (TDF) were made during two growing seasons. The diurnal patterns of leaf gas exchange and stem water potential (Ψs) were appraised during the kernel-filling stage in all irrigation regimes. When tree water relations were assessed at solar noon, PRD did not show differences in either leaf gas exchange or tree water status compared with RDI. At similar average soil moisture status (adjudged by similar Ψpd), PRD50 trees had higher water status than RDI trees in the afternoon, as confirmed by Ψs and TDF. Although irrigation placement showed no effects on diurnal stomatal regulation, diurnal leaf net photosynthesis (Al) was substantially less limited in PRD50 than in RDI trees, indicating that PRD improved leaf-level water use efficiency. 245159

NORTES , ANTONIO DIAZ-ESPEJO Disentangling the contributions of ontogeny and water stress to photosynthetic limitations in almond trees 10.1111/j.1365-3040.2011.02297.x IoT & Sensors Precipitation & Ecological Systems ABSTRACTVery few studies have attempted to disentangle the respective role of ontogeny and water stress on leaf photosynthetic attributes. The relative significance of both effects on photosynthetic attributes has been investigated in leaves of field‐grown almond trees [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb] during four growth cycles. Leaf ontogeny resulted in enhanced leaf dry weight per unit area (Wa), greater leaf dry‐to‐fresh weight ratio and lower N content per unit of leaf dry weight (Nw). Concomitantly, area‐based maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax), maximum electron transport rate (Jmax), mesophyll conductance to CO2 diffusion (gm)′ and light‐saturated net photosynthesis (Amax) declined in both well‐watered and water‐stressed almond leaves. Although gm and stomatal conductance (gs) seemed to be co‐ordinated, a much stronger coordination in response to ontogeny and prolonged water stress was observed between gm and the leaf photosynthetic capacity. Under unrestricted water supply, the leaf age‐related decline of Amax was equally driven by diffusional and biochemical limitations. Under restricted soil water availability, Amax was mainly limited by gs and, to a lesser extent, by photosynthetic capacity and gm. When both ontogeny and water stress effects were combined, diffusional limitations was the main determinant of photosynthesis limitation, while stomatal and biochemical limitations contributed similarly. 245159
