Application of Physiological Traits Related to Plant Water Status for Predicting Yield Stability in Wheat under Drought Stress Condition

Hojjat Hasheminasab, Ezatollah Farshadfar & Hadi Varvani · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2013

The objective of the present study was to model the relationship between yield stability index (YSI) and some physiological traits related to plant water status. Fifteen bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes with wide range of sensitivity to drought were used in a randomiz...

Simulating the Impact of Drought on California’s Central Valley Hydrology, Groundwater and Cropping

Larry L. Dale, Emin C. Dogrul, Charles F. Brush, Tariq N. Kadir, Francis I. Chung, Norman L. Miller & Sebastian D. Vicuna · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2013

This paper describes an efficient methodology to link a comprehensive, distributed hydrologic model for California’s Central Valley to a crop production model. The resulting hydro-economic model allows for the dynamic calculation of crop acreages in response to water availability...

Will Nzoia Basin in Kenya See Water Deficiency in Coming Decades as a Result of Climate Change

Pradeep Adhikari & Yang Hong · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2013

This study investigates the potential change in the hydrologic cycle in Nzoia basin, one ofthe semi-arid basins of east Africa. An ensemble of 16 Global Climate Models data under different emissions scenarios are used in this study. The basin is expected to receive an increase in...

Integrated Impact of Climate Change and Socioeconomic Development on the Evolution of Camel Farming Systems

Bernard Faye, Mahmadou Chaibou & Gilles Vias · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2012

In Sub-Saharan countries, climate change has already been observed for several decades and is characterized by the decrease in mean rainfall with extensive periods of drought followed by short but severe rains. The dromedary camel, adapted to arid lands and low nutritive natural...
