Smart and precision agriculture concepts require that the farmer measures all relevant variables in a continuous way and processes this information in order to build better prescription maps and to predict crop yield. These maps feed machinery with variable rate technology to apply the correct amount of products in the right time and place, to improve farm profitability. One of the most relevant information to estimate the farm yield is the Leaf Area Index. Traditionally, this index can be obtained from manual measurements or from aerial imagery: the former is time consuming and the latter requires the use of drones or aerial services. This work presents an optical sensing-based hardware module that can be attached to existing autonomous or guided terrestrial vehicles. During the normal operation, the module collects periodic geo-referenced monocular images and laser data. With that data a suggested processing pipeline, based on open-source software and composed by Structure from Motion, Multi-View Stereo and point cloud registration stages, can extract Leaf Area Index and other crop-related features. Additionally, in this work, a benchmark of software tools is made. The hardware module and pipeline were validated considering real data acquired in two vineyards—Portugal and Italy. A dataset with sensory data collected by the module was made publicly available. Results demonstrated that: the system provides reliable and precise data on the surrounding environment and the pipeline is capable of computing volume and occupancy area from the acquired data.

Vineyards show some of the largest erosion rates reported in agricultural areas in Europe. Reported rates vary considerably under the same land use, since erosion processes are highly affected by climate, soil, topography and by the adopted soil management practices. Literature also shows differences in the effect of same conservation practices on reducing soil erosion from conventional, bare soil based, management. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is commonly adopted to estimate rates of water erosion on cropland under different forms of land use and management, but it requires proper value of soil cover and management (C) factors in order to obtain a reliable evaluation of local soil erosion rates. In this study the ORUSCAL (Orchard RUSle CALibration) is used to identify the best calibration strategy against long-term experimental data. Afterwards, ORUSCAL is used in order to apply the RUSLE technology from farm based information across different European wine-growing regions. The results suggest that the best strategy for calibration should incorporate the soil moisture sub-factor (Sm) to provide better soil loss predictions. The C factor, whose average values ranged from 0.012 to 0.597, presented a large spatial variability due to coupling with local climate and specific local management. The comparison across the five wine-growing regions indicates that for the soil protection management, permanent cover crop is the best measure for accomplishing sustainable erosion rates across the studied areas. Alternate and temporary cover crops, that are used in areas of limited water resources to prevent competition with vines, failed to achieve sustainable erosion rates, that still need to be addressed. This raises the need for a careful use of C values developed under different environmental conditions.

Rainfall is the key factor to understand soil erosion processes, mechanisms, and rates. Most research was conducted to determine rainfall characteristics and their relationship with soil erosion (erosivity) but there is little information about how atmospheric patterns control soil losses, and this is important to enable sustainable environmental planning and risk prevention. We investigated the temporal and spatial variability of the relationships of rainfall, runoff, and sediment yield with atmospheric patterns (weather types, WTs) in the western Mediterranean basin. For this purpose, we analyzed a large database of rainfall events collected between 1985 and 2015 in 46 experimental plots and catchments with the aim to: (i) evaluate seasonal differences in the contribution of rainfall, runoff, and sediment yield produced by the WTs; and (ii) to analyze the seasonal efficiency of the different WTs (relation frequency and magnitude) related to rainfall, runoff, and sediment yield. The results indicate two different temporal patterns: the first weather type exhibits (during the cold period: autumn and winter) westerly flows that produce the highest rainfall, runoff, and sediment yield values throughout the territory; the second weather type exhibits easterly flows that predominate during the warm period (spring and summer) and it is located on the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula. However, the cyclonic situations present high frequency throughout the whole year with a large influence extended around the western Mediterranean basin. Contrary, the anticyclonic situations, despite of its high frequency, do not contribute significantly to the total rainfall, runoff, and sediment (showing the lowest efficiency) because of atmospheric stability that currently characterize this atmospheric pattern. Our approach helps to better understand the relationship of WTs on the seasonal and spatial variability of rainfall, runoff and sediment yield with a regional scale based on the large dataset and number of soil erosion experimental stations.

The objective of this paper was to identify the incidence and extent of preferential flow at two experimental areas located in Lyon, France. We used time-lapse ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys in conjunction with automatized single-ring infiltration experiments to create three-dimensional (3D) representations of infiltrated water. In total we established three 100 cm × 100 cm GPR grids and used differenced radargrams from pre- and post-infiltration surveys to detect wetting patterns. The analyzed time-lapse GPR surveys revealed the linkage between nonuniform flow and heterogeneous soil structures and plant roots. At the first experimental area, subsurface coarse gravels acted as capillary barriers that concentrated flow into narrow pathways via funneled flow. At the second experimental area, the interpolated 3D patterns closely matched direct observation of dyed patterns, thereby validating the applied protocol. They also highlighted the important role of plant roots in facilitating preferential water movement through the subsurface. The protocol presented in this study represents a valuable tool for improving the hydraulic characterization of highly heterogeneous soils, while also alleviating some of the excessive experimental efforts currently needed to detect preferential flow pathways in the field.

Soil erosion is affected by rainfall temporal pattern and intensity variability. In vineyards, machines traffic is implemented with particular intensity from late spring to harvest, and it is responsible of soil compaction, that likely affects soil hydraulic properties, runoff, and soil erosion. Additionally, hydraulic and physical properties of soil are highly influenced by vineyards’ inter-rows soil management. The effect of machines traffic on soil compaction, hydrological and erosional processes has been investigated on a sloping vineyards with different inter-row soil managements (tillage and permanent grass cover) in the Alto Monferrato area (Piedmont, NW Italy). During the investigation (November 2016 – October 2018) soil water content, rainfall, runoff, and soil erosion were continuously monitored. Field-saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs), soil penetration resistance (PR) and bulk density (BD) were recorded periodically in portions of inter-rows affected and not by the machine traffic. In order to take into account temporal and management variability of soil compaction and hydrological properties, field-monitored data were statistically analysed, in order to identify existing relationships between climate and management variables and soil physical and hydrological variables. Very different yearly precipitation characterized the observed period, leading to higher bulk density and lower infiltration rates were in the wetter year, especially in the tilled vineyard, whereas soil penetration resistance was generally higher in the grassed plot, and in drier conditions. Soil bulk density and penetration resistance in tracked soil of the tilled plot increase, compared to the grassed plot, after only one to three tractor passages following tillage operation, especially in the topsoil (first 10 cm). Soil compaction affects water infiltration, especially in the wet year. In the tilled vineyard, one tractor passage on wet soil after tillage operation dramatically reduced Kfs from over 1000 to near 1 mm h-1, while with grass cover Kfs remained above the usual rain-intensity values, allowing water to infiltrate the soil. By means of linear and multilinear regression, significant relationships have been found to relate hydraulic conductivity and soil penetration resistance with soil water content, weather variables and a factor that takes into account the number of tractor passages and the elapsed time from last soil disturbance. Lastly, runoff and soil erosion were higher in the tilled plot, even if lower than the long-period average values. Indeed, in the wet year, management with grass cover reduced considerably runoff (-76%) and soil loss (-83%) compared to tillage and, in the dry season.

The Water4ever project aims to increase irrigation water and fertilization efficiencies through precision irrigation. The project has 3 major components: A technological component devoted to the development of measuring technologies based on optical sensors; a modelling component addressing both the local and the catchment scales; and a fieldwork component based on 3 case studies dedicated to vineyards and fruit trees where the new sensor and modelling tools will be combined with field data obtained by conventional monitoring and remote sensing. The project aims also to improve modelling at plot and catchment scale in order to quantify the effect of agriculture practices on water availability and quality. MOHID-Land is a physically-based, spatially distributed, continuous, variable time step model for the water and property cycles. It integrates four compartments or mediums (atmosphere, porous media, soil surface, and river network). In this study, the MOHID-Land model has been calibrated and implemented at plot scale in two of the project’s study cases, located in Portugal and Italy, that are representative of local vineyards, with different management, climate and topographical conditions: (i) the Vinha do Mel - Companhia das Lezírias (Portugal) is an irrigated vineyard of 14000 m2 with limited slope, while (ii) the Cannona Erosion Plots (NW Italy) are 1200 m2 portions of a rainfed hillslope experimental vineyard, with different inter-rows’ management. Water inputs (precipitation and irrigation), meteorological parameters and soil water content at different depths have been monitored in both plots during two years (2017-2018), using field sensors. Direct runoff measurements are available for the Cannona Erosion Plots. The vegetative development of the vineyards has been estimated from remote imagery. The field and remote datasets were used to calibrate and validate the MOHID-Land model, by comparing with simulated values of soil water content and LAI, with satisfactory to good efficiency of the model. The performance of the model was considered acceptable to support the IrrigaSys decision support system, using the Portuguese study case as reference for weekly irrigation recommendation in the region. The Italian study case was also used to estimate the water balance in two growing seasons with contrasting weather conditions, in order to evaluate the different behaviour with respect to the adopted soil management and the needing to introduce irrigation in a region where vines are traditionally rainfed.

WATER4EVER is co-funded by the European Commission under the framework of the ERA-NET COFUND WATERWORKS 2015 Programme.

Afforestation of marginal farmland with fast-growing tree species is a cost-effective way to produce wood fiber for industrial and energy use. The final harvest is often performed with terrain chipping, in order achieve high productivity and minimum-cost supply. Several machine manufacturers have developed new chipper models, specifically designed for this practice in agroforestry plantations. Soil impacts, particularly soil compaction, represent a concern in such practice. This study evaluated the impact of terrain chipping work on soil compaction in agroforestry plantations. This study tested two different options for the chipper, and namely: a new all-road chipper specifically designed for agroforestry plantations (evaluated under two tire-pressure configurations) and capable of both cross-country and road traffic, and a high-mobility chipper truck. In contrast, one option was tested for the chip shuttle, which consisted in a farm tractor equipped with a two-axle trailer. The four treatments were tested on three different sites, representing the most common soil conditions encountered in the new agroforestry plantations. Soil texture ranged from loam to sandy loam. The occurrence of soil compaction in the upper 30 cm of the soil was evaluated with two different methods: bulk density determination and penetration resistance sampling. Measurements were conducted in the machine tracks after a single pass. The two methods seemed to give contradictory results, especially in two of the three test sites. In general bulk density seemed more sensitive to changes than penetration resistance after a single passage. Bulk density measurements showed that the all-road chipper at low tire pressure and the chipper truck caused soil compaction at almost all sites. In contrast, the all-road chipper at standard tire pressure and the chip shuttle were much gentler on the soil. The limited increments found in this study are likely dependant on a relatively high soil density before traffic. The higher impact of the all-road chipper after reducing tire pressure is contrary to expectations, probably due to the use of relatively stiff tires that may deny the benefits of deflation. This study indicates that wellorganized terrain chipping may not cause such high soil compaction levels as to jeopardize tree root development and growth, despite the heavy weight of the equipment used for this task. In that regard, the specially-designed all-road chipper performs better than the chipper truck.

Erosional processes are highly affected by seasonal climatic fluctuations and soil management practices. Controlled grass cover is one of the most used soil conservation practices adopted in temperate climates, even if the protective effect of grass cover may decrease according to seasonal pattern. This technique is effective and, thus, widely adopted in the inter-rows of orchards such as olives, citrus or vineyards. This study reports the erosive events recorded in two different rain-fed hillslope vineyards with different rows orientation located in the Monferrato region, NW Italy. The study is addressed at compare the effects of different inter-row managements and rainfall characteristics on runoff and soil loss in hillslope vineyards (average slope from 15% to 35%). Rainfall, runoff and erosion variables were monitored in hydraulically bounded vineyard plots, where the inter-rows were managed with tillage and grass cover. Seventy-two erosive events were recorded in the period 1992–1996 in two vineyard plots with rows along the contour lines while 86 erosive events were recorded in two plots with rows up-and-down the slope from 2000 to 2014 (158 erosive events and four plots in total). Events were classified according to rainfall characteristics as “long-lasting”, “intense” and “normal”. In plots with rows along the contour lines, “intense” events were responsible for the highest mean soil loss in tilled plots (0.7 Mg ha−1) with very high erosion rates (12.3 Mg ha−1) observed during a single storm. In plots with rows up-and-down the slope the highest erosion rates, 21.2 and 3.4 Mg ha−1, were recorded during fall “long-lasting” events in the tilled and grass cover plots respectively. The grass cover proved to be effective in decreasing runoff and soil losses during most of the events (at least 68% and 61% of the occurrences, respectively) reducing soil losses especially during summer storms when most of the “intense” events occured. Furthermore, the results show the fundamental role of contour-slope row orientation in reducing runoff and soil losses, disregarding the inter-rows soil management that is adopted.

Soil moisture measurement is essential to validate hydrological models and satellite data. In this work we provide an overview of different local and plot scale soil moisture measurement techniques applied in three different conditions in terms of altitude, land use, and soil type, namely a plain, a mountain meadow and a hilly vineyard. The main goal is to provide a synoptic view of techniques supported by practical case studies to show that in such different conditions it is possible to estimate a time and spatially resolved soil moisture by the same combination of instruments: contact-based methods (i.e., Time Domain Reflectometry—TDR, and two low frequency probes) for the time resolved, and hydro-geophysical minimally-invasive methods (i.e., Electromagnetic Induction—EMI, Ground Penetrating Radar—GPR, and the Electrical Resistivity Tomography—ERT) for the spatially resolved. Both long-term soil moisture measurements and spatially resolved measurement campaigns are discussed. Technical and operational measures are detailed to allow critical factors to be identified.

In the mountain region of Aosta Valley, NW Italy, grapevine were, in the past, traditionally grown on terraces supported by dry stone walls. Since the 1960s terraces systems were gradually abandoned in favor of an up-and-down the slope row orientation. Tillage and chemical weeding are common soil management techniques adopted in vineyards with high slope gradient, to maintain bare soil. Both techniques expose, to varying degrees, the soil to degradation, favoring runoff and soil losses. Although many studies have focused on effects of soil water erosion in vineyards, there is still a gap in the evaluation of long-term soil erosion rates in vineyards located on very steep slopes (higher than 35%). In order to evaluate long-term soil erosion on a very steep vineyard, a study was carried out on a 44-year old vineyard located at about 900 m asl. The vine rows were oriented up-and-down the slope, which is about 50% (29°). The inter-rows soil management of the vineyard included chemical weeding and, in the first year after plantation, the adoption of irrigation and hilling-up/taking-out the soil around the vines. The soil loss was determined adopting the technique of botanical benchmark. According to this methodology the estimated total soil lost over 44 years was about 692 Mg ha-1, with average annual soil loss of 15.7 Mg ha-1 year -1, confirming that the water and management practices adopted in the vineyard, besides the high slope gradient, have played a relevant role in determining the high erosion rate.

Soil management in vineyard inter-rows has a great influence on soil hydraulic conductivity and bulk density, and, consequently, on runoff and soil erosion processes at the field scale. The maintenance of bare soil in vineyard inter-rows with tillage, as well as the tractor traffic, are known to expose the soil to\ud compaction, reduction of soil water holding capacity and increase of runoff and erosion. The use of grass cover is one of the most common and effective practices in order to reduce such threats. It is therefore important to relate rainfall characteristics, soil properties and response in terms of runoff and soil\ud erosion, from yearly to seasonal and to single event temporal scales. The objective of this work is to quantify the temporal variability of the effects of two different kind of inter-row management on soil hydrological properties, runoff and erosion in vineyards. For this reason two vineyard field-scale plots in\ud the Alto Monferrato vine-growing area (Piedmont, NW Italy) were monitored in two years. The inter-rows were managed with conventional tillage (CT) and grass cover (GC), respectively. Fifteen series of infiltration tests were carried out during a 2-year period of observation (October 2012 to November\ud 2014). In order to take into account the effect of tractors traffic, the tests were done on the track, and outside the track. Furthermore, a dataset of 29 rainfall-runoff events covering a wide range of topsoil characteristics was collected in the two plots, along with soil water content and runoff discharge monitoring, and determination of sediment yield in case of erosive events. An optical disdrometer installed in the plots provided also 1-min rainfall intensity data. In summer, just one month after tillage,\ud CT soil showed very low hydraulic conductivity, so storms were able to cause Hortonian runoff and soil losses up to 5.7 Mg ha1. In autumn and winter very high saturation-excess runoff was observed in CT, that reached 83% of the precipitation. Runoff in the grass cover plot was mainly due to saturation of the\ud topsoil, and the annual reduction of runoff in the GC plot was about 63%. Soil erosion up to 1.2 Mg ha1 in a single event was observed in the GC vineyard in winter. In each year of observation, most of the erosion occurred during a single event, while the total annual erosion was up to 9 times higher in the CT\ud treatment than in the GC

Runoff and soil losses caused by natural rainfall events were monitored over a 12-year period in an experimental vineyard located in Alto Monferrato, a vine-growing area of Piedmont (NW Italy). The measurements were carried out on three plots, each of which was managed with a different inter-row soil management practice: conventional tillage (CT), reduced tillage (RT) and controlled grass cover (GC), respectively. The annual average runoff coefficients were 17.4 % in CT and 15.3 % in RT, while in the GC plot it was limited to 10.3 %. The highest soil losses were observed for the tilled plots, with average yearly erosion rates of 10.4 and 24.8 Mg ha−1year−1 in the CT and RT plots. Only 2.3 Mg ha−1year−1 were recorded for GC treatment. The protective role of grass cover will be more and more relevant, taking in account climate changes that predict increase in rainfall intensity and erosivity. The evaluation of the effect of different conservation measures on the runoff and soil erosion, in relation with future climate scenarios, would be a useful to support soil management decisions in vineyards.

Runoff and soil losses caused by natural rainfall events were monitored over a 10-year observation period in three experimental vineyard plots located in Alto Monferrato, a vine-growing area in Piedmont (NW Italy). The plots are characterized by a slope of about 15% and a soil classified as Typic Ustorthents, fine-loamy, mixed, calcareous, mesic. Each of them was managed with a different inter-row soil management practice: conventional tillage (CT), reduced tillage (RT) and controlled grass cover (GC), respectively. The rainfall characteristics, runoff discharge and concentration of soil in the water were measured. More than 150 rainfall events producing runoff and 63 erosive events were recorded. The data set was elaborated to investigate the relationships between runoff and soil losses with rainfall amount, duration and intensity, and to evaluate the effects of soil management methods. The amounts of water and soil that ran off the vineyard in the study period varied according to the season, rainfall characteristics and soil surface conditions. The highest soil losses were observed for tilled plots, with values of 111.5 and 207.7 Mg ha−1 in the CT and RT plots, and only 25.6 Mg ha−1 for GC treatment. The worst soil management practice was found to be the RT, whereas the GC was able to reduce soil lost from inter-rows in every season of the year, reaching the best effectiveness in summer (reduction greater than 90%). In addition, GC reduced runoff by 35% compared with the CT plot, showing a greater performance in summer and losing efficacy in autumn. A lower runoff reduction of 11% was observed in RT.

Agricultural management influences the rainfall-runoff processes and has relevant effect on soil erosion, especially on hillslope vineyards. Mechanization in the inter-row is particularly important in this issues. Vegetation cover, soil structure modification and crust formation dramatically influence the overland flow.In this work ponded infiltration measurements in relation both to soil water content measurements and to long time series of rainfall-runoff were performed. In fact in the case of event scale mathematical models, soil hydrology theory provides the methods to evaluate some key parameters.First of all a long time series of rainfall-runoff data measured by the IMAMOTER-CNR-Torino was analyzed in order to quantify the soil management effects in the Regione Piemonte experimental vineyards “Tenuta Cannona”. Then temporal variability of hydraulic conductivity and soil water content were measured in different soil surface conditions in relation to vineyard management. The analysis of the runoff data set and the infiltration tests showed how the increase in infiltration in tilled inter-rows was limited to rainfall events that occurred immediately after tillage, whilst the grass cover assured better reduction of runoff and higher hydraulic conductivity on a wider temporal scale

In mountain regions worldwide, rainfall-induced landslides and associated debris flows erode slopes, scour channels, and contribute to the formation of alluvial fans that may harm humans and destroy buildings. Rainfall-induced slope failures are frequent and widespread in Italy, where individual rainfall events can result in single or multiple slope failures in small areas or in very large regions. Most of the harmful failures were rainfall-induced, and several were shallow slides or debris flows. In the 60-year period 1950–2009, casualties due to landslides were at least 6,349, an average of 16 harmful events per annum. The large number of harmful events indicates the considerable risk posed by rainfall-induced shallow landslides and debris flows to the population of Italy (Guzzetti et al. 2005a; Salvati et al. 2010).

This paper presents the initial results of a common methodology for the evaluation of damage produced by a flood. A model has been developed for flood damage estimation based on a geographic information system (GIS). It could be used by land administration bodies and insurance companies to manage flood-related damage data. The model simulates flood scenarios and evaluates expected economic losses from the impact of floodwaters on exposed elements, through the application of a computational model elaborated by GIS. During the development of the model, the Boesio Stream, a small watercourse flowing into Lake Maggiore (Lombardy, northern Italy) which was recently affected by a flash flood, was used as case study to test and calibrate the methodology. The method could be used either as a forecasting tool to define event scenarios, utilizing data from events simulated with a hydraulic model, or for real-time damage assessment after a disaster. The approach is suitable to large-area damage assessment and could be appropriate for land use planning, civil protection and risk mitigation.
