Mesquite Root Distribution and Water Use Efficiency in Response to Long-term Soil Moisture Manipulations
This study quantified honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) root growth and water use efficiency following chronic soil drought or wetness on a clay loam site in north Texas. Root systems of mature trees were containerized with barriers inserted into the soil. Soil moisture within containers was manipulated with irrigation (Irrigated) or rain sheltering (Rainout). Other treatments included conta...
متن کاملStochastic soil water balance under seasonal climates.
The analysis of soil water partitioning in seasonally dry climates necessarily requires careful consideration of the periodic climatic forcing at the intra-annual timescale in addition to daily scale variabilities. Here, we introduce three new extensions to a stochastic soil moisture model which yields seasonal evolution of soil moisture and relevant hydrological fluxes. These approximations al...
متن کاملReconciling seasonal hydraulic risk and plant water use through probabilistic soil-plant dynamics.
Current models used for predicting vegetation responses to climate change are often guided by the dichotomous needs to resolve either (i) internal plant water status as a proxy for physiological vulnerability or (ii) external water and carbon fluxes and atmospheric feedbacks. Yet, accurate representation of fluxes does not always equate to accurate predictions of vulnerability. We resolve this ...
متن کاملSoil Erosion by Water: Contemporary Research Methods and Their Use
According to a UN Environment Programme survey, topsoil is eroding faster than it forms on about one third of the world’s cropland, causing an estimated 85 % of the world s land degradation from human activities. Erosion of soil, mainly by water, is also a problem in the Czech Republic where 54 % of arable land is endangered by water erosion. The topic of this article is to describe contemporar...
متن کاملSeasonal variation on radon emission from soil and water
Radon is being measured continuously in spring water and soil-gas at Badshahi Thaul Campus, Tehri Garhwal in Himalayan region by using radon Emanometer since December 2002. An effort was made to correlate the variance of radon concentrations in spring water and soil-gas with meteorological parameters at the same location. The main meteorological parameters that affect the radon emanation from h...
