IRRIGATION PRODUCTION FUNCTIONS WITH WATER-CAPITAL SUBSTITUTION [PDF]
The dynamics of biomass growth implies that the yield of irrigated crops depends, in addition to the total amount of water applied, on irrigation scheduling during the growing period. Advanced irrigation technologies relax constraints on irrigation rates

Abstract We tested the hypothesis that metaxylem phenotypes influence drought adaptation in maize (Zea mays L.) through in silico modeling and empirical studies under water deficit in controlled environments and in the field. Substantial genotypic variation for metaxylem vessel element length (MVEL) was observed. Longer MVEL was correlated with reduced

Stemflows and Preferential Flows: A Historical Review and Challenges for the Future
Possible implementation of stemflow in the MIPS model where all water in the system is represented as particles in pathways of specified velocity. Stemflow (green particles) can be treated as a localised input with probabilities of entering higher velocity pathways than throughfall, depending on the input rates.

Abstract Farming systems face an increasing sustainability challenge requiring integrated solutions to minimize the trade‐offs between the social, ecological and economic dimensions of sustainability. Yet, most research remains siloed, limiting interdisciplinary understanding of farming systems as coupled social‐ecological systems (SESs) and precluding

Due to climate change, plants are experiencing both prolonged drought events and increasingly variable water availability, prompting the need for better understanding of potential impacts on plant performance, as well as the identification of low‐water‐use plants.
