MODELLING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE FLOW REGIME AND CHANNEL PLANFORM EVOLUTION OF THE LOWER DRAVA RIVER

Modelling the Impact of Climate Change on the Flow Regime and Channel Planform Evolution of the Lower Drava River

Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on changing the flow regime of the lower Drava River.Four flume experiments were run to see how stabilized, increased and decreased flow and the occurrence of a series of floods affect channel planform evolution.Constant discharge produced alternate bars that subsequently merged into bigger be

Evaluating yield and land equivalent ratio in mixcropping of balangu (Lallemantia royleana Benth.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) affected by weed competition

Introduction Intercropping is considered to be important for a lot of reasons like optimizing water and soil resource uses, increasing water use efficiency, increasing pest, diseases and weed control efficiency, decrease pesticide application, increasing total production and land equivalent ratio and sustainability in agroecosystems.Production of m

From leaf to whole-plant water use efficiency (WUE) in complex canopies: Limitations of leaf WUE as a selection target

Plant water use efficiency (WUE) is becoming a key issue in semiarid areas, where crop production relies on the use of large volumes of water.Improving WUE is necessary for securing environmental sustainability of food production in these areas.Given that climate change predictions include increases in temperature and drought in semiarid regions, i
