Evapotranspiration from Northern Semiarid Grasslands
Proper grazing management reduces ET from grasslands by reducing transpiration losses and grazingManagement of forage production for livestock grazing on semiarid induced surface energy relationships that reduce evapograsslands depends on water availability. Evapotranspiration (ET) ration (Svejcar and Christiansen, 1987; Wraith et al., was measured using the Bowen ratio energy balance method on...
متن کاملMODIS observed impacts of intensive agriculture on surface temperature in the southern Great Plains
Land use/cover change has been recognized as an important component in regional and global climate. This study provides satellite observed impacts of agricultural activities on near surface climate. Land surface temperature products from NASA’s earth observing system (EOS) Terra and Aqua satellites are used. The intensive winter wheat field in the southern Great Plains greatly modifies the seas...
متن کاملThe impacts of different land use changes on groundwater level using quantitative model WEAP (Case study: Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province, Iran)
Reduction of water resources limits the ability of farmers for food production and subsistence. Nowadays the quick growth of population has been the most important factor in the decline of renewable water. In many parts of Iran, including region of interest, the major factor in water resources decline was land use change, that may cause to ecological destruction and disruption. Sustainabl...
متن کاملDownscaling soil moisture in the southern Great Plains through a calibrated multifractal model for land surface modeling applications
[1] Accounting for small‐scale spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture ( ) is required to enhance the predictive skill of land surface models. In this paper, we present the results of the development, calibration, and performance evaluation of a downscaling model based on multifractal theory using aircraft‐based (800 m) estimates collected during the southern Great Plains experiment in 1997 (SGP...
متن کاملCarbon and oxygen isotopic variability in Neogene paleosol carbonates: constraints on the evolution of the C4-grasslands of the Great Plains, USA
Understanding the development of grassland ecosystems is critical for understanding the evolution of their associated vertebrate faunas. We focus on the central and southern portions of the Great Plains, which is the largest continuous grassland in North America and has a well-documented mammalian fossil record. Modern biomass in this region is dominated by C4 grasses, but paleontological evide...
