Fine-particle water and pH in the southeastern United States
The copyright of individual parts of the supplement might differ from the CC-BY 3.0 licence. The nephelometer RH sensors were calibrated by placing the sensors in a sealed container above aqueous saturated salt solutions at known temperatures for an accurate prediction of equilibrium RH (Greenspan, 1977). More than 3hrs were allowed for each salt solution to reach water vapor saturation. Partic...
متن کاملMeat Goat Enterprise Efficiency Analysis in the Southeastern United States
Meat goat enterprise efficiency was estimated using an input distance function (IDF) by applying stochastic production frontier techniques for the southeastern U.S. region. We found increasing returns to scale and scope economies for southeastern U.S. meat goat enterprises. Mean technical efficiency was 0.81. Our results suggest southeastern U.S. meat goat enterprises can be scale efficient if ...
متن کاملWater resources and land use and cover in a humid region: the southeastern United States.
It is widely recognized that forest and water resources are intricately linked. Globally, changes in forest cover to accommodate agriculture and urban development introduce additional challenges for water management. The U.S. Southeast typifies this global trend as predictions of land-use change and population growth suggest increased pressure on water resources in coming years. Close attention...
متن کاملEfficiency of superabsorbents in improving water productivity
Agricultural residues and various other materials are currently being used as additives to improve the physical and chemical properties of soil. Iran is located in an arid and semiarid region, so using strategies to reduce water use will reduce the problem water scarcity. The use of superabsorbent to increase water uptake and retention is one of the solutions that have been applied to improve w...
متن کاملMulti-scale evaluation of light use efficiency in MODIS gross primary productivity for croplands in the Midwestern United States
Satellite remote sensing provides continuous observations of land surfaces, thereby offering opportunities for large-scale monitoring of terrestrial productivity. Production Efficiency Models (PEMs) have been widely used in satellite-based studies to simulate carbon exchanges between the atmosphere and ecosystems. However, model parameterization of the maximum light use efficiency (ε*GPP) varie...
