Wildfires have a significant impact on Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) content and fractionation. Here we used Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, particularly decision tree-based ones, to assess post-wildfire changes in labile, removable, and recalcitrant SOC fractions across six distinct areas with varying wildf...

Total soluble solids (TSS) is a key variable taken into account in determining optimal grape maturity for harvest. In this work, partial least square (PLS) regression models were developed to estimate TSS content for Godello, Verdejo (white), Mencía, and Tempranillo (red) grape varieties based on diffuse spectroscopy measurements. To identify the m...

While populations of the Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu), an invasive pest affecting the European chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller), have started to be controlled biologically, this pest still conditions chestnut tree development. With the aim of assessing plant health status as a means of monitoring gall wasp infestation...
