Effectiveness of Wastewater Treatment for Selected Contaminants Using Constructed Wetlands in Mediterranean Climates
… and full-scale case studies conducted in Mediterranean climate regions around the world for potential application to Mediterranean climate regions in California. The case studies consisted of three basic design types: vertical subsurface flow (VSSF), horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF), and …

Lessons learned from urban river restoration projects: application of restoration treatments on the Los Angeles River.
… constraints of urbanization and is located in a Mediterranean climate, resulting in water availability complications. Completed river projects in Mediterranean climates are presented and the lessons learned from these treatments are applied to the Los Angeles River. Alternative urban river …

Designing Smarter Stormwater Systems at Multiple Scales with Transit Time Distribution Theory and Real-Time Control
… runoff capture and water supply in areas with Mediterranean climates. We find that the addition of RTC increases the percent of runoff captured, but does not increase the percent of water demand satisfied. Our results suggest that stormwater RTC systems need to be implemented in conjunction …

A multi-city analysis of the natural and human drivers of the urban heat island
… heat island by 1.5 °C. Cities in tropical or Mediterranean climates have the strongest heat islands during the dry season indicating that urban infrastructure is the key driver in these cities. These results indicate that mitigation of the urban heat island is possible by altering the urban …

Grapesystress: Use of systems biology and new breeding technology approaches to study water stress-resistant in grapevine plants.
… significant threats to grape production in Mediterranean climates. These challenges will be compounded by heightened pest pressure and crop loss. Even though irrigation systems will expand worldwide, they will still not be sufficient to overcome the damage as the main problem is the lack of …

Multi-temporal remote sensing for estimation of plant available water-holding capacity of soil
… decision support. Plant growth in water-limited Mediterranean climates is predominantly controlled by soil water availability. In rain-fed cropping systems, differences in PAWC can explain a large proportion of the spatial and temporal crop yield variability. The overall aim of this research was …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Central California
… research has been conducted on the disease in Mediterranean climates. To address this gap in the data I studied the amphibian assemblage present across a ~6,475 ha site in central California and investigated the occurrence of the etiological agent, <italic>Batrachochytrium …

Reconstructing climate from the Dead Sea sediment record using high-resolution micro-facies analyses
… for reconstructing climate in the eastern Mediterranean region, as it stores the environmental and tectonic history of the Levant for the entire Quaternary. Moreover, the lake is located at the boundary between Mediterranean sub-humid to semi-arid and Saharo-Arabian hyper-arid climates, so …

Plant growth, stress tolerant traits and regulation of heat activated proteins in Aspalathus linearis (Burm. f.) R. Dahlgren exposed to elevated temperature and drought
… increased frequencies of drought. Regions with Mediterranean climates, such as the Western Cape in South Africa, are particularly vulnerable to these climate impacts, with models and studies showing that there are already significant increases in temperatures, shifts in later winter rainfall and …

Producción y distribución de fotoasimilados en la vid (Vitis vinifera L.) durante el período de maduración : cambios en la respuesta fotosintética a la luz de las hojas por factores biológicos, ambientales y culturales
… and therefore to the final ripening. In warm mediterranean climates, the ripening phase usually shows periods of high temperatures, strong light and low relative humidity. To this strong atmospheric demand we must add the low pluviometry of the summer period, both of them outcome in the …
