Crop-water stress index models for cool season turfgrasses
Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) technology has shown potential in improving irrigation timing as it determines timing based on the plant's need. Research was conducted to better apply this technology to turf management. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine the complexity of model …

Reconstruction of late Holocene vegetation and climate of Hluhluwe Mfolozi area using phytoliths
… towards the base. The tree cover density index (D/P) does not reflect increased bush encroachment at this site, but appears to show a closed forest at 36cm depth and relatively densely-wooded savannas throughout, while the humidity-aridity index (lph) and water stress index (Fs) suggest a …

Spatial quantification of maize water stress using UAV-acquired data in smallholder farms of Swayimane in KwaZulu-Natal Province
… one of the two main crops that are impacted by water stress globally. Therefore, determining maize water stress is essential for the development of timely response measures to boost farming production, especially on smallholder croplands. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) furnished by …

The resource demands and water stress of cities: A study of the U.S. urban food-energy-water nexus
… for commodities such as food, energy, and water in cities. Energy and food production depend on water resources, and piped treated water and wastewater systems depend on energy resources, representing aspects of the food-energy-water nexus. Because water resources are used outside of cities …
