Since the competition of plant cover with the vineyard will largely depend on the percentage of bare soil [7], and this percentage can be adapted according to soil properties to avoid competition for water [86], therefore a reasonable option would be to use permanent living mulches in ...
units and the number of amenities on prices, but the negative and significant coefficient of the interaction term between the number of units and the number of amenities implies that the positive scale effect on price premium will become negative (i.e., diseconomies of scale) when the number ...
The fluorescence of the organisms was examined using a confocal microscope equipped with Kr/Ar mixed gas laser (Bio-Rad MRC 1024 UV; Bio-Rad, Hercules, California, US) using excitation wavelengths 488 nm and the emission has been detected after passing a bandpass filter of 522/35 nm. The ...
