Effect of Irrigation and Mulch on the Yield and Water Use of Strawberry by Rahena Parvin Rannu, Razu Ahmed, Alamgir Siddiky, Abu Saleh Md. Yousuf Ali, Khandakar Faisal Ibn Murad, Pijush Kanti Sarkar

“…To investigate the effect of irrigation and mulch on the yield of strawberry (line FA-007), this study was conducted at the experimental fields of Pomology Division, BARI, Gazipur and RARS, BARI, Rangpur during Rabi season of 2012-13 and 2013-14. The experiment was conducted followed by the split-plot design with two mulches (black plastic and rice straw), three levels of irrigation (5, 10, and 15 days interval), and three replications. …”

Modeling and predicting the trend of temperature changes in Hamedan County by Zohreh Maryanji, fatemeh sotoudeh, meysam toulabi nejad, Ziba Zarrin

“…In contrast, significant trends in temperature data are evident under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, suggesting that the increase in average minimum temperatures reflects severe climatic changes, particularly affecting precipitation patterns during the cold season. Furthermore, the analysis of the trend data reveals a significant increase in average maximum temperatures on both annual and monthly scales across all three examined scenarios, indicating an imminent environmental crisis.…”

Study on Spatiotemporal Distribution Characteristics of Rainfall Erosivity in “Three-Lake” Basin of Central Yunnan by YANG Wenchun, GU Guihua, ZHU Weibing, HUO Shouhua

“…This study is conducted to explore the influence of rainfall on the characteristics of soil erosion in the “three-lake” basin of Fuxian Lake,Xingyun Lake,and Qilu Lake in central Yunnan.On the basis of the daily rainfall observation data of four precipitation stations in the basin from 1992 to 2020,namely,the Liangwanghe,Haikou,Chaershan,and Shagouzui Stations,the daily rainfall erosivity model is employed to calculate rainfall erosivity.Then,its temporal variation characteristics are analyzed with the M-K method,and the spatial changing laws of rainfall and rainfall erosivity are investigated by the Kriging interpolation method for spatial interpolation.The results are as follows:From 1992 to 2020,the average annual rainfall in the “three-lake” basin is 907.6 mm,and the average annual rainfall erosivity is 3 088~4 172 MJ·mm/(hm²·h);the variation coefficient of annual rainfall erosivity is between 0.25 and 0.32,and the number of days with erosive rainfall at each station is 686~759.There is a good correlation between annual rainfall and annual rainfall erosivity,and the annual rainfall erosivity in the basin fluctuates on the whole,with no significant increasing trend and no abrupt change.The rainfall erosivity varies significantly within the year,with that in summer accounting for 61.4% and that in the flood season accounting for 90.5% of the year,and the variation of rainfall erosivity is topped by summer,followed by autumn,spring,and winter.The spatial distribution trend of average annual rainfall erosivity in the basin is consistent with the annual rainfall distribution trend,high in the north and low in the south.The rainfall erosivity decreases gradually from north to south in terms of years,flood seasons,summer,and autumn,while in terms of non-flood seasons,spring,and winter,rainfall erosivity decreases from northeast to southwest.The research results can provide a scientific basis for water and soil conservation and ecological protection of lakes in the basin of plateau lakes in central Yunnan.…”

Christmas Mass Movements in the Italian Alps by Marta Chiarle, Costanza Morino, Giovanni Mortara, Walter Alberto, Mario Ravello, Aristide Franchino, Giuseppe Orombelli, Marco Giardino, Luigi Perotti, Guido Nigrelli

“…Mass movements at high elevation during wintertime are rare events in the Italian Alps, but are generally large events compared to those occurring in other seasons. In a context of climate change, their interpretation is particularly challenging due to the risk implications during a highly tourist season in the mountains, and because their occurrence seemingly contradicts the attribution of recent mass movements in high-alpine environments to global warming. …”
