Estimation of Actual Evapotranspiration, Water productivity, and Irrigation Efficiency of Wheat Fields in Surface and Sprinkler Irrigation Systems Using Remote Sensing

علوم آب و خاک, 2022
In arid and semi-arid regions, water resource management and optimization of applying irrigation water are particularly important. For optimization of applying irrigation water, the estimated values of actual evapotranspiration are necessary for avoiding

Spatiotemporal Variation of Actual Evapotranspiration and Its Relationship with Precipitation in Northern China under Global Warming

Remote Sensing, 2022
The analysis of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) changes is of great significance for the utilization and allocation of water resources. In this study, ETa variability in northern China (aridity index < 0.65) is investigated based on the average of seven ...

Coping With Production Risk: Effects of Sown Plant Diversity on the Attractiveness of Crop Insurance in Grasslands

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

Restoring Trust: Rebuilding the Forest Carbon Credit System Through Scientific Rigor

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As pivotal nature‐based climate solutions (NbCS), forests are increasingly recognized for their climate mitigation potential. However, this potential is undermined by fundamental flaws in current carbon credit systems. Our analysis identifies four interconnected systemic challenges: (1) subjective additionality assessments arising from ...

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Applicability of three complementary relationship models for estimating actual evapotranspiration in urban area

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2015
The characteristics of evapotranspiration estimated by the complementary relationship actual evapotranspiration (CRAE), the advection-aridity (AA), and the modified advection-aridity (MAA) models were investigated in six pairs of rural and urban areas of

Impact of potential and (scintillometer-based) actual evapotranspiration estimates on the performance of a lumped rainfall–runoff model [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a key role in hydrological impact studies and operational flood forecasting models as ET represents a loss of water from a catchment.

Performance evaluation of Satellite-based actual evapotranspiration technique

Journal of Applied and Natural Science, 2022
Estimating crop evapotranspiration is vital for the calculation of irrigation water requirements. Remote sensing data have proven to be a valuable and efficient tool for estimating evapotranspiration. It has been used intensively over the past decade due to free, high temporal and spectral resolution data availability. The main aim of this study was to
