This is part of the project "Fytorremediation of air and water by means of living walls" financed by the Andalusian Plan of Research, development and innovation 2020...

Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: "Water consumption of felt-based outdoor living walls in warm climates". This study aims to quantify the water consumption of commercial outdoor felt-based living walls installed in four different Spanish cities, assessing the influencing variables (i.e., location, size, exposition,...

Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: "Assessment of different LED lighting systems for indoor living walls". This study evaluated the performance of several modules of living wall lighted by different LED lamps. The dataset presents the values of the different variables measured (temperature and humidity, water consumption,...

Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: "Particularities of having plants at home during the confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic". This study evaluated the role of having plants at home during the confinement period as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that deprived people of freely visiting open green spaces. Preferences...

Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: "Suitability and optimization of FAO's small-scale aquaponics systems for joint production of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and fish (Carassius auratus)". This study evaluated the performance of three different small-scale aquaponic systems for the joint production of lettuce and Carassius...

Living walls are vertical building integrated systems that allow increasing vegetation in cities, providing many benefits. However, some concerns are raised involving their environmental sustainability given that they need to be irrigated, especially in warm climates. Little information is available regarding the quantity of water required for...

Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: "Detection of unfavourable urban areas with higher temperatures and lack of green spaces using satellite imagery in sixteen Spanish cities". This is part of the project "Urban Sustainability using new Data Mining developments (URSUS-DM)" the Spanish R & D Programme for projects addressing...

The annual agricultural electric pumping usage in California is around 10 million MWh and most of it occurs in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, wher e the majority of agriculture is located (Burt et al., 2003). Pumping costs are often higher than they should be for two reasons: more water is pumped than is necessary, and/or the...

Technology is transforming societies worldwide. A significant innovation is the emergence of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS), which have the potential to revolutionise cities for both people and nature. Nonetheless, the opportunities and challenges associated with RAS for urban ecosystems have yet to be considered systematically. Here, we...

Para un manejo adecuado del riego es necesario tener información disponible de una manera rápida y sencilla. Gracias a los avances tecnológicos, esto es posible. En este trabajo se han utilizado imágenes captadas mediante una cámara térmica montada sobre un vehículo aéreo para evaluar el estado hídrico de un cultivo de remolacha azucarera en...

In sprinkler irrigation the water distribution uniformity in field conditions is not always a known factor, mainly due to the many variables involved, especially the wind. The main objective of this study was to design, install and test an automatic sprinkler bench to measure the irrigation uniformity of solid set systems for multiple wind...

En este trabajo se describe un proyecto de innovación docente para la mejora de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje de Hidráulica en el Grado de Ingeniería Agrícola. El proyecto consistió en plantear, en dos etapas diferenciadas, metodologías de aprendizaje basadas en proyectos y en el trabajo en equipo. En la primera etapa, un estudiante de...

En las últimas décadas, las urbes están creciendo considerablemente, dedicándose un porcentaje cada vez más elevado a edificaciones. Se prevé que en el periodo entre 2000 y 2030, la población urbana del mundo habrá aumentado un 72%, mientras que la superficie de las zonas edificadas donde viven 100.000 o más personas podría aumentar en un 175%....

Problem-based learning (PBL) is widely regarded as a successful educational method. In Spain, most engineering degrees are still based mainly on old style lecture classes where a great deal of information is given to the students. This work assesses the introduction of a PBL strategy as a complement to traditional engineering education. The...

The use of vertical greenery systems in buildings is becoming very popular as they provide several benefits. In this work, the influence of an indoor living wall on the temperature and humidity in a hall inside the School of Agricultural Engineering (University of Seville) was studied. Four different substrates, Geotextile, Epiweb, Xaxim and...
