Water footprint and virtual water trade of mize in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-06)
Agriculture is the largest fresh water consuming sector, and maize is the most produced and consumed crop worldwide. The water footprint (WF) methodology quantifies and evaluates the water volumes consumed and polluted by ...
Contribution of leaf water uptake to transpiration and water status in arid ecosystems
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2020-12)
Foliar water uptake (FWU) could be relevant for plants, allowing them to use alternative water sources than the primary one that is soil water uptake and thus prevent dehydration especially during the dry season in ...

Measuring land surface temperature, near-infrared and short-wave infrared reflectance for estimation of water availability in vegetation
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
The vegetation water status is a crucial variable for modelling of drought impact, vegetation productivity and water fluxes. Methods for spatial estimation of this variable still need to be improved. The integration of ...
Water uptake by dehydrated soy protein isolates: Comparison of equilibrium vapour sorption and water imbibing methods
(Elsevier, 2003-08)
Two forms of the hygroscopic behaviour of soybean protein isolates (SPI): liquid water imbibing capacity (WIC) and equilibrium vapour adsorption were tested in non-dialysed native (N) and denatured (D) samples, and in ...
