TL;DR: The Energy Balance Experiment (EBEX-2000) as discussed by the authors studied the ability of state-of-theart measurements to close the surface energy balance over a surface (a vegetative canopy with large evapotranspiration) where closure has been difficult to obtain.

TL;DR: Drought tolerance in the M4 grapevine rootstock genotype could be associated with a higher capability to counteract oxidative stresses by enhancing the accumulation of resveratrol in roots.

TL;DR: In this article, a second-order turbulence closure model was used to test two different parameterisations of canopy architecture in the application of a second order turbulence closure, and the predicted profiles of turbulence statistics reasonably matched actual measurements, especially in the case of the mean contact number parameterisation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the temporal variability of the effects of two different kind of inter-row management on soil hydrological properties, runoff and erosion in vineyards, from yearly to seasonal and to single event temporal scales.
