Grazing effects on feeding guilds of ground‐dwelling arthropods vary with season and vegetation types in Mongolian grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Seasonal variations in grazing impacts on vegetation in drylands vary with vegetation types. In Mongolian grasslands, seasonal variations in grazing effects on vegetation are greater in summer, when vegetation is more developed, than in spring; however, in desert steppe regions, where vegetation is sparse, these seasonal variations are smaller.

Transforming Agricultural Water Management Through the Water–Energy–Food Nexus: Trends, Opportunities, Barriers and Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural water management (AWM) is increasingly transitioning towards transformative thinking, where interconnected sectors, including water, energy and food, are managed holistically. Trends point towards cross‐sectoral and harmonised strategies to optimise water use efficiency and productivity, integrate renewable energy, promote ...

Soil hydrology in agriculture

, 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 ...

Impact of Irrigation Scheduling on Corn Yield and Water Balance in Sandy Soils of Central Minnesota Using the EPIC Model.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient irrigation scheduling is critical in sandy soils to achieve optimum yield and maximum net benefit with minimum environmental concerns. The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was used to study the impacts of autoirrigation of corn on crop yield and soil water balance during 2019–2021 at −300 and −450 kPa for loamy ...
