The methodology included a forest inventory in nine randomly assigned plots and the destructive sampling of G. sepium 32 trees, measuring for each tree the diameter at breast height (DBH), stem height, total tree height, branch weight, leaf weight and coarse root weight. In addition, we measured grass biomass, collected litterfall and collected soil samples at depths of 0\u201310, 10\u201320 and 20\u201330\u00a0cm in the plots.

Recently, mosaicking has increasingly shifted towards user friendly cloud-based online environments such as Google Earth Engine (GEE), which are equipped with huge image repositories and extensive processing capabilities. This enables the easy transferability of workflows into new image sets and diversifies the range of methodological options for mosaicking. The quality control of the output mosaic, ensuring that the reflectance values are representative to the targeted land cover, is however primarily based on certain assumptions or pre-set rules which may not always produce an optimal result. Our study focuses on assessing and comparing the performance of three different mosaicking algorithms for predicting forest inventory variables, based on an extensive set of field data on the main site type, fertility class, and volume and biomass of growing stock. One of the compared mosaics derives from manual image selection, thus enabling rigorous visual quality control, and two others are resting on GEE-assisted automatized methods which include applying a percentile-based statistic over all the input reflectance values and selecting the best pixels using predefined quality indicators. The results indicate that the manual and the percentile-based mosaics are generally providing the best and relatively equal performance levels. Compared to them, the quality-based mosaic has slightly lower accuracy particularly when predicting continuous variables (i.e., the volume and biomass of growing stock) and it suffers from minor image defects. For the total volume of growing stock, for example, the RMS errors are 56.22 % for the manual, 56.33 % for the percentile-based, and 59.47 % for the quality-based mosaics, respectively. These results indicate that from the perspective of large area forest mapping, automatically generated mosaics may provide approximately similar accuracy as compared to manually controlled workflow at a fraction of the workload.", "keywords": ["Image mosaicking", "Physical geography", "791", "forest research", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "15.

We designed in silico a large set of primers targeting microsatellite regions (ca. 9400) from two low coverage genomes presented here. This study provides 154 high quality primer pairs targeting polymorphic repeats conserved in two Amynthas corticis mitochondrial lineages. From this dataset, a set of primer pairs (15) was validated by polymerase chain reaction with 86% consistent amplification, confirming the accuracy of the in silico prediction. Nine of the primer pairs tested were selected for population genetics and presented polymorphism in the studied populations, thus showing promising potential for future studies of this global invasive species.

Here we investigate if the integration of the two approaches can be beneficial as it allows to overcome the limitations of the two approaches taken individually - lack of sufficiently large, reliable and orthogonal datasets for data-driven approaches and the need of many inputs for process-based models. The applications of the two categories of models have been reviewed, paying special attention to the cases where the two approaches have been mixed. By analysing the literature we identified three major cases of integration between the two approaches: (1) using crop growth models to engineer features and expand the predictors space, (2) use data-driven approaches to estimate missing inputs for process-based models (3) using data-driven approaches to produce meta-models to reduce computation burden.

We examined resource use efficiencies and crop productivity in a spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-field pea (Pisum arvense L.) rotation. The experimental design included a factorial combination of tillage with different ground covers (complete stubble removal, stubble retained and plastic film mulch). Results showed that there was more soil water in 0-30 cm at sowing under the no-till with stubble retained treatment than the conventional tillage with stubble removed treatment for both field pea (60 mm vs. 55 mm) and spring wheat (60 mm vs. 53 mm). The fallow rainfall efficiency was up to 18% on the no-till with stubble retained treatment compared to only 8% for the conventional tillage with stubble removed treatment. The water use efficiency was the highest in the no-till with stubble retained treatment for both field pea (10.2 kg/ha mm) and spring wheat (8.0 kg/ha mm), but the lowest on the no-till with stubble removed treatment for both crops (8.4 kg/ha mm vs. 6.9 kg/ha mm). Spring wheat also had the highest nitrogen use efficiency on the no-till with stubble retained treatment (24.5%) and the lowest on the no-till with stubble removed treatment (15.5%). As a result, grain yields were the highest under no-till with stubble retained treatment, but the lowest under no-till with no ground cover treatment for both spring wheat (2.4 t/ha vs. 1.9 t/ha) and field pea (1.8 t/ha vs. 1.4 t/ha). The important finding from this study is that conservation tillage has to be adopted as a system, combining both no-tillage and retention of crop residues. Adoption of a no-till system with stubble removal will result in reductions in grain yields and a combination of soil degradation and erosion. Plastic film mulch increased crop yields in the short-term compared with the conventional tillage practice. However, use of non-biodegradable plastic film creates a disposal problem and contamination risk for soil and water resources. It was concluded that no-till with stubble retained treatment was the best option in terms of higher and more efficient use of water and nutrient resources and would result in increased crop productivity and sustainability for the semi-arid region in the Loess Plateau.

The energy generation in this technology vastly depends on the optical behaviour of the reflector materials of the solar field. Corrosion of solar reflectors might be an issue in locations with high corrosive environments because an excessive corrosion of the solar mirror could be catastrophic for the profitability of the concentrated solar thermal plant. This research is focusing on modelling the durability of four different solar reflector materials exposed outdoors by accelerated aging tests. For this purpose, ten locations suitable for concentrating solar thermal applications were classified depending on their corrosive aggressiveness. Commercial, free-lead and low-cost reflectors samples were exposed in all the sites to determine the influence of the corrosion in its durability. Corrosion defects appeared in the solar reflectors during outdoor exposure were properly reproduced by CASS test. Novel lifetime prediction models were developed for all the solar reflectors depending on the corrosive aggressiveness of the place. Number and thickness of the paint coatings employed in the solar mirrors were identified as one of the most important parameters to improve the energy generation of a CSP plant in corrosive environments.

Predictive models, specifically machine learning (ML) methods, are one of the tools capable of solving this apparent contradiction as they allow to generalize toxicity patterns across chemicals and species. However, despite the availability of large public toxicity datasets, the data is highly sparse, complicating model development. The aim of this study is to provide insights into how ML can predict toxicity using a large but sparse dataset. We developed models to predict LC50-values, based on experimental LC50-data covering 2431 organic chemicals and 1506 aquatic species from the ECOTOX-database. Several well-known ML techniques were evaluated and a new ML model was developed, inspired by recommender systems. This new model involves a simple linear model that learns low-rank interactions between species and chemicals using factorization machines. We evaluated the predictive performances of the developed models based on two validation settings: 1) predicting unseen chemical-species pairs, and 2) predicting unseen chemicals. The results of this study show that ML models can accurately predict LC50-values in both validation settings. Moreover, we show that the novel factorization machine approach can match well-tuned, complex, ML approaches.", "keywords": ["modelling", "Machine Learning", "machine learning", "Machine learning", "Animals", "Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship", "prediction", "Ecotoxicology", "LC50", "aquatic toxicity", "species sensitivity"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/1062936X.2023.2254225"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/SAR%20and%20QSAR%20in%20Environmental%20Research", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225", "name": "item", "description": "10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-09-06T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1109/jphotov.2019.2943706", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-05-23T16:18:21Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2019-10-23", "title": "Extracting and Generating PV Soiling Profiles for Analysis, Forecasting, and Cleaning Optimization", "description": "<p>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The identification and prediction of the daily soiling profiles of a photovoltaic site is essential to plan the optimal cleaning schedule.

This study assesses the transferability of models for wild bee abundance in a mass\uffe2\uff80\uff90flowering crop across space (from one region to another) and across time (from one year to another).

We extracted the knowledge about 174 varieties from the dataset, which contained information about weather, soil, yield and regional statistical parameters. Next, we predicted the yield of each variety in each of 6,490 observed subregions of the Midwest. Furthermore, yield was predicted for all the possible weather scenarios approximated by 15 historical weather instances contained in the dataset. Using predicted yields and covariance between varieties through different weather scenarios, we performed portfolio optimisation. In this way, for each subregion, we obtained a selection of varieties, that proved superior to others in terms of the amount and stability of yield. According to the rules of Syngenta Crop Challenge, for which this research was conducted, we aggregated the results across all subregions and selected up to five soybean varieties that should be distributed across the network of seed retailers.

These carry VNIR (visible and near infrared) spectrometers and have been used in recent years extensively for the assessment of soil fertility at the field scale, and the delineation of site-specific management zones (MZ). A challenging feature of VNIR applications in precision agriculture (PA) is the massiveness of the derived datasets that contain point predictions of soil properties, and the interpolation techniques involved in incorporating these data into site-specific management plans. In this study, fixed-rank kriging (FRK) geostatistical interpolation, which is a flexible, non-stationary spatial interpolation method especially suited to handling huge datasets, was applied to massive VNIR soil scanner data for the production of useful, smooth interpolated maps, appropriate for the delineation of site-specific MZ maps. Moreover, auxiliary Sentinel-2 data-based biophysical parameters NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) and fAPAR (fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy) were included as covariates to improve the filtering performance of the interpolator and the ability to generate uniform patterns of spatial variation from which it is easier to receive a meaningful interpretation in PA applications. Results from the VNIR prediction dataset obtained from a pivot-irrigated field in Albacete, southeastern Spain, during 2019, have shown that FRK variants outperform ordinary kriging in terms of filtering capacity, by doubling the noise removal metrics while keeping the computation cost reasonably low. Such features, along with the capacity to handle a large volume of spatial information, nominate the method as ideal for PA applications with massive proximal and remote sensing datasets.</p></article>", "keywords": ["MANAGEMENT ZONES", "precision agriculture", "PREDICTION", "NDVI", "SPATIAL VARIABILITY", "Science", "MODELS", "Q", "PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES", "ONLINE", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "VNIR spectrometer", "15.

Using estimates of the atmospheric state coming from independent sources, for example numerical models and/or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations, the APSs can be transformed into absolute maps of Tropospheric Delay (Zenith Total Delay or ZTD), related to the columnar atmospheric water vapor content. In this work, a systematic comparison between various APS and ZTD products aims to determine a convenient strategy to go from APSs to InSAR-derived absolute ZTD maps, highlighting the uncertainties and approximations introduced in the entire processing. The main problem to solve is the evaluation of a sufficiently accurate high-resolution master delay map. Different sources of data and two different approaches to derive the master are validated and compared to define the most suitable strategy for meteorological applications. Maps of ZTD obtained by an iterative interpolation of a global atmospheric circulation model values results in being more suited than those derived from the assimilation of GNSS observations into an NWP model. A time average approach to estimate the master map is more robust than the single epoch approach with respect to the choice of the master epoch.

We used previously published sequence data, providing information on 306,049 high-quality SNPs for 20,454 barley accessions. The prediction abilities of the two unordered categorical traits row type and growth type as well as the quantitative traits flowering time, plant height and thousand grain weight were investigated using different cross validation scenarios. Our results demonstrate that the unordered categorical traits can be predicted with high precision. In this way genome-wide prediction can be routinely deployed to extract information pertinent to the taxonomic status of gene bank accessions. In addition, the three quantitative traits were also predicted with high precision, thereby increasing the amount of information available for genotyped but not phenotyped accessions. Deeply phenotyped core collections, such as the barley 1,000 core set of the IPK Gatersleben, are a promising training population to calibrate genome-wide prediction models.

Framed within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) of the European Commission, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is producing an enhanced global dataset for the land component of the fifth generation of European ReAnalysis (ERA5), hereafter referred to as ERA5-Land. Once completed, the period covered will span from 1950 to the present, with continuous updates to support land monitoring applications. ERA5-Land describes the evolution of the water and energy cycles over land in a consistent manner over the production period, which, among others, could be used to analyse trends and anomalies. This is achieved through global high-resolution numerical integrations of the ECMWF land surface model driven by the downscaled meteorological forcing from the ERA5 climate reanalysis, including an elevation correction for the thermodynamic near-surface state. ERA5-Land shares with ERA5 most of the parameterizations that guarantees the use of the state-of-the-art land surface modelling applied to numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. A main advantage of ERA5-Land compared to ERA5 and the older ERA-Interim is the horizontal resolution, which is enhanced globally to 9\uffe2\uff80\uff89km compared to 31\uffe2\uff80\uff89km (ERA5) or 80\uffe2\uff80\uff89km (ERA-Interim), whereas the temporal resolution is hourly as in ERA5. Evaluation against independent in situ observations and global model or satellite-based reference datasets shows the added value of ERA5-Land in the description of the hydrological cycle, in particular with enhanced soil moisture and lake description, and an overall better agreement of river discharge estimations with available observations. However, ERA5-Land snow depth fields present a mixed performance when compared to those of ERA5, depending on geographical location and altitude. The description of the energy cycle shows comparable results with ERA5. Nevertheless, ERA5-Land reduces the global averaged root mean square error of the skin temperature, taking as reference MODIS data, mainly due to the contribution of coastal points where spatial resolution is important. Since January\uffc2\uffa02020, the ERA5-Land period available has extended from January\uffc2\uffa01981 to the near present, with a 2- to 3-month delay with respect to real time. The segment prior to 1981 is in production, aiming for a release of the whole dataset in summer/autumn\uffc2\uffa02021. The high spatial and temporal resolution of ERA5-Land, its extended period, and the consistency of the fields produced makes it a valuable dataset to support hydrological studies, to initialize NWP and climate models, and to support diverse applications dealing with water resource, land, and environmental management. The full ERA5-Land hourly (Mu\uffc3\uffb1oz-Sabater,\uffc2\uffa02019a) and monthly (Mu\uffc3\uffb1oz-Sabater,\uffc2\uffa02019b) averaged datasets presented in this paper are available through the C3S Climate Data Store at https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.e2161bac and https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.68d2bb30, respectively.                     </p>", "keywords": ["QE1-996.5", "550", "IN-SITU", "LEAF-AREA", "[SDU.STU]Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Earth Sciences", "Geology", "OPERATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION", "15.

These carry VNIR (visible and near infrared) spectrometers and have been used in recent years extensively for the assessment of soil fertility at the field scale, and the delineation of site-specific management zones (MZ). A challenging feature of VNIR applications in precision agriculture (PA) is the massiveness of the derived datasets that contain point predictions of soil properties, and the interpolation techniques involved in incorporating these data into site-specific management plans. In this study, fixed-rank kriging (FRK) geostatistical interpolation, which is a flexible, non-stationary spatial interpolation method especially suited to handling huge datasets, was applied to massive VNIR soil scanner data for the production of useful, smooth interpolated maps, appropriate for the delineation of site-specific MZ maps. Moreover, auxiliary Sentinel-2 data-based biophysical parameters NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) and fAPAR (fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy) were included as covariates to improve the filtering performance of the interpolator and the ability to generate uniform patterns of spatial variation from which it is easier to receive a meaningful interpretation in PA applications. Results from the VNIR prediction dataset obtained from a pivot-irrigated field in Albacete, southeastern Spain, during 2019, have shown that FRK variants outperform ordinary kriging in terms of filtering capacity, by doubling the noise removal metrics while keeping the computation cost reasonably low. Such features, along with the capacity to handle a large volume of spatial information, nominate the method as ideal for PA applications with massive proximal and remote sensing datasets.</p></article>", "keywords": ["Technology", "MANAGEMENT ZONES", "PREDICTION", "NDVI", "SPATIAL VARIABILITY", "Science", "MODELS", "PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES", "ONLINE", "Environmental Sciences & Ecology", "VNIR spectrometer", "geostatistical interpolation", "VARIABLES", "0203 Classical Physics", "Remote Sensing", "geostatistical interpolation; VNIR spectrometer; NDVI; fAPAR; precision agriculture", "0909 Geomatic Engineering", "QUALITY", "DATA FUSION", "Geosciences", " Multidisciplinary", "Imaging Science & Photographic Technology", "agriculture", "Science & Technology", "precision agriculture", "Q", "Geology", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "15.

In a series of case-studies from New Zealand, we show that while production of food ingredients from crops on arable land can meet human dietary energy requirements effectively, requirements for high-quality protein are met more efficiently by animal production from such land. We present a model that can be used to assess dietary energy and quality-corrected protein production from various crop and crop/animal production systems, and demonstrate its utility. We extend our analysis with an accompanying economic analysis of commercially-available, pre-prepared or simply-cooked foods that can be produced from our case-study crop and animal products. We calculate the per-person, per-day cost of both quality-corrected protein and dietary energy as provided in the processed foods. We conclude that mixed dairy/cropping systems provide the greatest quantity of high-quality protein per unit price to the consumer, have the highest food energy production and can support the dietary requirements of the highest number of people, when assessed as all-year-round production systems. Global food and nutritional security will largely be an outcome of national or regional agro-economies addressing their own food needs.

In a series of case-studies from New Zealand, we show that while production of food ingredients from crops on arable land can meet human dietary energy requirements effectively, requirements for high-quality protein are met more efficiently by animal production from such land. We present a model that can be used to assess dietary energy and quality-corrected protein production from various crop and crop/animal production systems, and demonstrate its utility. We extend our analysis with an accompanying economic analysis of commercially-available, pre-prepared or simply-cooked foods that can be produced from our case-study crop and animal products. We calculate the per-person, per-day cost of both quality-corrected protein and dietary energy as provided in the processed foods. We conclude that mixed dairy/cropping systems provide the greatest quantity of high-quality protein per unit price to the consumer, have the highest food energy production and can support the dietary requirements of the highest number of people, when assessed as all-year-round production systems. Global food and nutritional security will largely be an outcome of national or regional agro-economies addressing their own food needs.

Predicting interactions between species and chemicals using recommender system techniques", "description": "Ecotoxicological safety assessment of chemicals requires toxicity data on multiple species, despite the general desire of minimizing animal testing. Predictive models, specifically machine learning (ML) methods, are one of the tools capable of solving this apparent contradiction as they allow to generalize toxicity patterns across chemicals and species. However, despite the availability of large public toxicity datasets, the data is highly sparse, complicating model development. The aim of this study is to provide insights into how ML can predict toxicity using a large but sparse dataset. We developed models to predict LC50-values, based on experimental LC50-data covering 2431 organic chemicals and 1506 aquatic species from the ECOTOX-database. Several well-known ML techniques were evaluated and a new ML model was developed, inspired by recommender systems. This new model involves a simple linear model that learns low-rank interactions between species and chemicals using factorization machines. We evaluated the predictive performances of the developed models based on two validation settings: 1) predicting unseen chemical-species pairs, and 2) predicting unseen chemicals. The results of this study show that ML models can accurately predict LC50-values in both validation settings. Moreover, we show that the novel factorization machine approach can match well-tuned, complex, ML approaches.", "keywords": ["modelling", "Machine Learning", "Machine learning", "Animals", "Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship", "prediction", "Ecotoxicology", "LC50", "aquatic toxicity", "species sensitivity"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/1062936X.2023.2254225"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10029/626941"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/SAR%20and%20QSAR%20in%20Environmental%20Research", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10029/626941", "name": "item", "description": "10029/626941", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10029/626941"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-09-06T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "11585/1012654", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-05-23T16:24:40Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2023-03-03", "title": "Accounting for the spatial range of soil properties in pedotransfer functions", "description": "Pedotransfer functions (PTF) are widely used in soil hydraulic property modelling. Accounting for spatial structures of soil properties for improving the model performance of PTF is increasingly discussed. To understand how model performance varies when PTF are trained with samples of different spatial structure of the input data, we developed 12 ePTF (ensemble PTF) with data input from differently sized spatial domains to predict field capacity (FC) and wilting point (WP) of agriculturally used soils in Austria. The training domains generally had diameters equal to or larger than the spatial range of the explaining variables (bulk density BD, organic carbon content OC, Sand, Silt, and Clay) and the response variable (FC or WP). A stepwise regression technique was used to train the ePTF, and both bootstrap and random sampling were used to evaluate the uncertainties of the various ePTF. We found that, a training domain considerably larger than the spatial range of the input variables did not help develop a roubust ePTF, particularly when applied on relatively larger scales, independent of their performances during the training stage. We conclude that, covering additional heterogeneous samples from outside of the spatial range of the input variables does not ensure an enhanced prediction capability of ePTF. Also, it might be worth paying more attention to the spatial structure of the predicted variable when its spatial range might be expected to be quite different from the predictors.

Although major progress in soil models has occurred in the last decades, models of soil processes remain disjointed between disciplines or ecosystem services, with considerable uncertainty remaining in the quality of predictions and several challenges that remain yet to be addressed. First, there is a need to improve exchange of knowledge and experience among the different disciplines in soil science and to reach out to other Earth science communities. Second, the community needs to develop a new generation of soil models based on a systemic approach comprising relevant physical, chemical, and biological processes to address critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of soil processes and their interactions. Overcoming these challenges will facilitate exchanges between soil modeling and climate, plant, and social science modeling communities. It will allow us to contribute to preserve and improve our assessment of ecosystem services and advance our understanding of climate\uffe2\uff80\uff90change feedback mechanisms, among others, thereby facilitating and strengthening communication among scientific disciplines and society. We review the role of modeling soil processes in quantifying key soil processes that shape ecosystem services, with a focus on provisioning and regulating services. We then identify key challenges in modeling soil processes, including the systematic incorporation of heterogeneity and uncertainty, the integration of data and models, and strategies for effective integration of knowledge on physical, chemical, and biological soil processes. We discuss how the soil modeling community could best interface with modern modeling activities in other disciplines, such as climate, ecology, and plant research, and how to weave novel observation and measurement techniques into soil models. We propose the establishment of an international soil modeling consortium to coherently advance soil modeling activities and foster communication with other Earth science disciplines. Such a consortium should promote soil modeling platforms and data repository for model development, calibration and intercomparison essential for addressing contemporary challenges.</p>", "keywords": ["organic-matter dynamics", "550", "Sciences de l\u2019environnement & \u00e9cologie", "QH301 Biology", "Knowledge management", "0208 environmental biotechnology", "ECOSYSTEM SERVICES", "02 engineering and technology", "soil processes", "01 natural sciences", "Physical Geography and Environmental Geoscience", "Sciences de la Terre", "Biological process", "ANZSRC::3707 Hydrology", "DROUGHT SEVERITY INDEX", "SYNTHETIC-APERTURE RADAR", "ANZSRC::4106 Soil sciences", "SDG 13 - Climate Action", "Climate change", "0503 Soil Sciences", "GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR", "Integration of knowledge", "Life sciences", "ANZSRC::050399 Soil Sciences not elsewhere classified", "synthetic-aperture radar", "Physical Sciences", "Water Resources", "Knowledge and experience", "MULTIPLE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES", "knowledge integration", "570", "DIFFUSE-REFLECTANCE SPECTROSCOPY", "Environmental Engineering", "Physique", " chimie", " math\u00e9matiques & sciences de la terre", "Scientific discipline", "0703 Crop and Pasture Production", "0207 environmental engineering", "Soil Science", "soil science", "ORGANIC-MATTER DYNAMICS", "DATA ASSIMILATION", "Physical", " chemical", " mathematical & earth Sciences", "ANZSRC::0503 Soil Sciences", "Science disciplines", "PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTIONS", "Feedback mechanisms", "mod\u00e9lisation", "ground-penetrating radar", "Science & Technology", "ANZSRC::080110 Simulation and Modelling", "15.

We extracted the knowledge about 174 varieties from the dataset, which contained information about weather, soil, yield and regional statistical parameters. Next, we predicted the yield of each variety in each of 6,490 observed subregions of the Midwest. Furthermore, yield was predicted for all the possible weather scenarios approximated by 15 historical weather instances contained in the dataset. Using predicted yields and covariance between varieties through different weather scenarios, we performed portfolio optimisation. In this way, for each subregion, we obtained a selection of varieties, that proved superior to others in terms of the amount and stability of yield. According to the rules of Syngenta Crop Challenge, for which this research was conducted, we aggregated the results across all subregions and selected up to five soybean varieties that should be distributed across the network of seed retailers. The work presented in this paper was the winning solution for Syngenta Crop Challenge 2017.", "keywords": ["Crops", " Agricultural", "2.

L'observation de la Terre fournit une source unique d'informations pour surveiller les cultures \u00e0 partir d'une diversit\u00e9 de gammes spectrales. Cependant, l'utilisation int\u00e9gr\u00e9e de ces donn\u00e9es et de leurs valeurs dans la pr\u00e9diction du rendement des cultures est encore peu \u00e9tudi\u00e9e.

Data and prediction system are freely available both via a web interface and a public REST API. Since its initial release in 2016, we extended the data available in enviPath and improved the performance of the prediction system and usability of the overall system. We now provide three diverse data sets, covering microbial biotransformation in different environments and under different experimental conditions. This also enabled developing a pathway prediction model that is applicable to a more diverse set of chemicals. In the prediction engine, we implemented a new evaluation tailored towards pathway prediction, which returns a more honest and holistic view on the performance. We also implemented a novel applicability domain algorithm, which allows the user to estimate how well the model will perform on their data. Finally, we improved the implementation to speed up the overall system and provide new functionality via a plugin system.

In this study, we build high-resolution geospatial data to build a semi-distributed water quantity and water quality model for two Swedish Agricultural Catchments in Hydrological Predictions of the Environment (HYPE). We calibrated and validated the model using discharge and water quality monitoring data from the streams in our study sites.  We subsequently used the calibrated model to forecast the impacts of climate change on nutrient (Inorganic Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus) loads under three relative concentration pathways (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP 8.5) and three periods (2022-2035, 2050-2065, and 2085-2100). Finally, we backcasted a 50% reduction in nutrient loads using  catchment mitigation scenarios (20% reduction in fertilisation, increasing in floodplain area, implementation of cover crops). This dataset contains all the monitoring data, model inputs (including parameterisation), and the model outputs. Moreover, it contains the R scripts with summary statistics and plotting and the summarised outputs of all model runs in csv files.  The dataset contains three folders.  1. The Geopatial Information folder contains all the geospatial data for both study catchments. These include land cover, soil, DEM, and finally the Soil Land Cover maps, which were used to build the HYPE models. The coding of the geospatial shapefiles and raster files can be found in the Readme document.  2. The HYPE_model folder contains all of the HYPE model building blocks necessary to run the calibrated model for Hestadb\u00e4cken and Tullstorp\u00e5n in seperate folders. It also contains the goodness-of-fit outcomes for both the calibrated model and the validation period. This folder also contains the future climate forecasts and the different mitigation scenario testing outcomes.  3. The outputs_and_data_analysis folder contains csv files with all of the model outcomes for IN, TP, and Q in both catchments for all combinations of RCP, period, and climate models.
