Soil moisture loss reduction owing to evaporation

Evaporation of grass under non-restricted soil moisture conditions

The behaviour of various formulas for évapotranspiration of grass in nonrestricted soil water conditions is considered. These are the expressions based on the Penman formula, i.e. "old" Penman, Penman-Monteith, Thorn-Oliver and the version recommended more recently by the FAO. Moreover, the Priestley-Taylor and the Makkink formulas are considered, which are radiation-based. Comparisons are made...

Groundwater influences on soil moisture and surface evaporation

Soil hydrological processes play an important role in land-atmosphere system. In most climate models, these processes are described by soil moisture variations in the first 2 m of soil resulting from precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration. Groundwater effects on soil moisture variations and surface evaporation are either neglected or not explicitly treated. Although groundwater may have ...

Protective Role of Biochar in Different Soil Moisture for Prevent Soil Loss in Laboratory Conditions

The using of soil conditioners to water and soil conservation is essential and also, the effect study of soil moisture on the soil conservation process and its role on changing runoff, soil erosion and sediment yield is necessary for understanding and simulating the hydrologic response of soil. Therefore, the present study was carried with the aim of investigating the effect of biochar with amo...

Changes in temperature - moisture covariance could increase soil carbon loss
