Spatial patterns of surface soil moisture and hydro-physical properties in Lijiang River watershed

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2016
Spatial heterogeneity is a basic characteristic of soil moisture and hydro-physical properties. We applied geostatistical approach to assess the spatial patterns of soil moisture and hydro-physical properties to identify the distribution and variability ...

Increasing precipitation during first half of growing season enhances ecosystem water use efficiency in a semiarid grassland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Precipitation amount and seasonality can profoundly impact ecosystem carbon (C) and water fluxes. Water use efficiency (WUE), which measures the amount of C assimilation relative to the amount of water loss, is an important metric linking ecosystem C and
