Soil hydrology in agriculture [PDF]
Water, 2019 Understanding the hydrological behavior of soils is essential for managing and protecting agricultural (and natural) ecosystems. Soil hydrological behavior not only mainly determines crop responses to water and nutrients provided by irrigation and fertilization, but also the timing for soil tillage, environmental conditions for plant diseases, among ...

Modelling Hydrological Processes in Agricultural Areas with Complex Topography [PDF]
Agronomy, 2020 Agricultural intensification and soil mismanagement have been recognized among the main causes of soil erosion in Mediterranean climate areas such as the Arbia stream basin (Tuscany, Italy). This study aims at predicting soil loss from agricultural fields as it is essential for providing reliable information for prioritizing soil conservation measures.
