  • Addressing Data Resolution in Precision Agriculture

    Creator:
    Kelley, Jason
    Abstract:
    Irrigated agriculture constitutes the greatest consumptive water use globally, so that irrigation efficiency measures are an important part of global efforts to best utilize this limited resource. However, greater irrigation efficiency must be achieved while simultaneously maintaining or increasing crop yields and farming profitability. Incremental water use decisions are made...

  • Spatial variability of dust deposition in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico

    Creator:
    McClintock, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Dust deposition on ecosystems with highly weathered soils may provide vital rock-derived nutrients that maintain ecosystem productivity. Because of the difficulties in measuring temporally and spatially heterogeneous dust deposition over ecologically meaningful timescales, evaluations of the spatial variability in dust deposition are extremely rare. In the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto...
