Crassulacean acid metabolism. A plastic photosynthetic adaptation to arid environments.
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is an important elaboration of photosynthetic carbon fixation that allows chloroplast-containing cells to fix CO2 initially at night using phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in the cytosol. This leads to the formation of C4 organic acids (usually malate), which are stored in the vacuole. Subsequent daytime decarboxylation of these organic acids behind clos...
متن کاملForage yield and quality of barley-annual medic intercrops in semi-arid environments
On-farm production of protein is limited in most dairy farm operations in arid and semi-arid environments. Cereal-legume intercropping could be a viable option to obtain forage with higher protein content. A two-year experiment was conducted during 2009 and 2010 growing seasons in a loamy soil to determine whether intercropping pattern of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and annual medic (Medica...
متن کاملCarbon losses by tillage under semi-arid Mediterranean rainfed agriculture (SW Spain)
Conservation tillage has been promoted as a solution to counteract constraints caused by intensive agriculture. In this work the effects of two conservation tillage systems, reduced tillage (RT) and no-tillage (NT) were compared to the traditional tillage (TT) in a long(15 years, RT) and short-term experiment (3 years, NT). Both experiments were carried out under semi-arid, rainfed agriculture ...
متن کاملSemi-tacit Adaptation of Intelligent Environments
This paper presents a semi-tacit adaptation system for implementing and configuring a new generation of intelligent environments referred to as adaptive ambient ecologies. These are highly distributed systems, which require new ways of communication and collaboration to support the realization of people’s tasks. Semi-tacit adaptation is based on a mixed initiative approach in human-system dialo...
متن کاملPredicting the Future Impact of Droughts on Ungulate Populations in Arid and Semi-Arid Environments
Droughts can have a severe impact on the dynamics of animal populations, particularly in semi-arid and arid environments where herbivore populations are strongly limited by resource availability. Increased drought intensity under projected climate change scenarios can be expected to reduce the viability of such populations, yet this impact has seldom been quantified. In this study, we aim to fi...
