Biochar Increases Water Use Efficiency in Eucalypt Plants Under Water and Nutri...
Verheijen, Frank G. A.; Bastos, Ana Catarina; Vasques, Ana; Mesquita, Raquel; Keizer, Jan J.; Silva, Flávio C.; Jesus, Claudia; Amaral, JoanaSoil amendment with biochar is being considered as a strategy for improving available soil water and nutrient content and, thereby, plant performance. Our aim was to investigate whether physiological, biochemical and morphological responses of Eucalyptus globulus to biochar amendment were dependent on watering regime. We conducted a randomized, 6-week greenhouse experiment with 5-month old eucalypt rooted cutti...
Surface and subsurface flow in eucalyptus plantations in north-central Portugal
Boulet, Anne-K.; Prats, Sérgio A.; Malvar, Maruxa C.; González-Pelayo, Oscar; Coelho, Celeste O. A.; Ferreira, Antonio J. D.; Keizer, Jan J.In the Baixo Vouga region of north-central Portugal, forests occupy half of the territory, of which two thirds are Eucalypts plantations. The hydrological implications of this large-scale introduction of eucalypt are unknown and the aim of this exploratory study, realized in the Caramulo Mountains, was to describe overland flow (OLF), subsurface flow (SSF) and stream flow (Q) in a catchment dominated by Eucalyp...
