Accurate evapotranspiration (ET) estimation is very crucial for water resource management, particularly for the arid and semi-arid region. The remote sensing-based Priestley-Taylor method (RS-PT method) can estimate ET at regional scale, using the feature space of remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST) and vegetation index (VI). This study evaluates the RS-PT feature space method over a...

Vegetation dynamics in arid and semi-arid regions have an important impact on carbon cycle, water energy exchange at local, regional, global scales. Therefore, it is of great significance for scientists to grasp the changes vegetation cover timely accurately. Based this, applicability ESTARFM model complex terrain area Xinjiang was explored using Landsat MODIS data fusion, overall change charac...

soil compaction has become a widespread problem in the world and is one of the factors involved in land degradation and declining crop yields, especially in the arid and semi-arid agriculture. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of subsoil compaction on morphological, physiological and agronomic aspects of wheat .the research was carried out in the experimental farms of anb...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The timing of flowering and summer dormancy induction plays a central role in the adaptation of Mediterranean geophytes to changes in the length of the growth season along rainfall gradients. Our aim was to analyse the role of the variation in the responses of flowering and summer dormancy to vernalization, daylength and growth temperature for the adaptation of Poa bulbosa, ...

Establishing satisfactory estimation methods of lake evaporation has been crucial vital for research and management of water resources and ecosystems. Determining the accurate method to estimate evaporation from reservoirs in the investigation and management of water resources is very important. Hence, in this study eight empirical methods such as; Makkink, DeBruin-Kejiman, Penman, Priestley-Ta...
