Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) exposure to long days during the post-flowering phase increases total biomass, nodes, pods and seeds per plant, and also the post-flowering duration, increasing the radiation offer. This ...

Global change influences biogeochemical cycles within and between environmental compartments (i.e., the cryosphere, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the atmosphere). A major effect of global change on carbon cycling ...

The Cajueiro (Anacardium occidentale L), pertaining the family of the Anacardiaceae, occupies place of prominence between the tropical fruitful plants. The cashew is a fruit sufficiently looked by its flavorful pulp, ...

The radiative constraints on the partitioning of the surface energy budget and, hence, on the strength of the hydrological cycle are analyzed in an idealized one-dimensional radiative–convective equilibrium model formulated ...

Temperature and solar radiation during grain filling are the main drivers of grain weight and composition in several crops. While significant progress has been done on the effect of solar radiation intercepted by the plants ...

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) plays a key role in the photochemistry in the atmosphere. UV has a detrimental impact on human health from direct exposure to sunlight and indirect effect by enhancing photochemical pollutants. ...

As a result of stratospheric ozone depletion, more solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280-315 nm) is reaching the Earth's surface. Enhanced levels of UV-B may, in turn, alter ecosystem processes such as decomposition. ...

The aim of this work is to study the degradation kinetics of the endocrine disruptor Benzyl Butyl Phthalate using Ozone and UV radiation. The model comprises four parallel sub-systems that are identified and isolated: (1) ...
