چکیده

Soil evaporation can signifi cantly infl uence energy fl ux partitioning of partially vegetated surfaces, ultimately affecting plant transpiration. While important, quantifi cation of soil evaporation, separately from canopy transpiration, is challenging. Techniques for measuring soil evaporation exist and continually improve. The large variability in soil water content requires that there be careful thought to the design of soil evaporation measurements in the fi eld. Numerical models for simulating soil evaporation have been developed and are shown to be fairly robust. However, the required inputs for defi ning model parameters often limit their application. For many operational applications where detailed soils and ancillary weather data are unavailable or where daily evaporation values are only needed, some of the analytical models described may provide the necessary level of accuracy. Moreover, in the application of weather forecast and hydrologic models, the use of simplifi ed approaches is necessitated by the computational requirements or the lack of adequate data or both for defi ning more complex numerical model inputs. For large area estimation, the use of remotely sensed soil moisture and surface temperature offer the greatest potential for operational applications.

Soil CO2 concentration does not affect growth or root respiration in bean or citrus

Contrasting effects of soil CO2 concentration on root respiration rates during short-term CO2 exposure, and on plant growth during long-term CO2 exposure, have been reported. Here we examine the effects of both shortand long-term exposure to soil CO2 on the root respiration of intact plants and on plant growth for bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and citrus (Citrus volkainenana Tan. & Pasq.). For r...

In Blockination, Volatility and Growth

This paper re-examines the relationship between in ation, in ation volatility and growth using cross-country panel data for the past 30 years. With regard to the level of in ation, we nd that in contrast to current ndings which are based on cross-sectional time-average regression comparisons, exploiting the time dimension of the data reveals a strong negative correlation between in ation and in...
