Shoot water content and reference evapotranspiration for determination of crop evapotranspiration

African Crop Science Journal, 2017
Determination of water requirement for crops in resource limited areas is  challenging, yet worsened by the common assumption that all crop varieties within a species have similar water requirements. The objective of the study was to  indirectly determine crop evapotranspiration of soybean varieties, using reference evapotranspiration and shoot water ...

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Studies on Evapotranspiration from Crops

Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 1987
The problems are whether evapotranspiration (ET) from paddy field would be affected by growth stage and by rice varieties, and whether the radiation method and Priestley-Taylor method for estimating ET would be applicable to paddy field.ET was measured with microlysimeter (Tomar and O'Toole, 1980A) at the eight test plots (N1-N8) in which cultivar ...
