Aim of study: This work summarizes the influence of surface drip irrigation (DI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) systems on corn growth indices and actual evapotranspiration (ETc-act) and its components of plant transpiration (Tp) and soil ...

How to enhance crop production and nitrogen fluxes? A result-oriented scheme to evaluate best agri-environmental measures in Veneto Region, Italy [PDF]
The cost-effectiveness of adopting agri-environmental measures (AEMs) in Europe, which combine agricultural productions with reduced N losses, is debated due to poorly targeted site-specific funding that is allocated regardless of local variability.

Soil Management Effects on Grapevine Water Uptake Depth in a Mediterranean Vineyard
Stable isotope evidence of vine water uptake depth under spontaneous cover crop and tillage. ABSTRACT In Mediterranean vineyards, soils are often managed with tillage or herbicides to limit weed growth and competition for resources. However, with rising concerns about water scarcity and climate change, cover crops are being reconsidered as sustainable ...

Theory and practice of hydrostatic lysimeters for direct measurement of net seepage in a patterned mire in north Scotland [PDF]
A novel design of lysimeter for use in mires (peatlands) with shallow water tables is described. It employs an hydraulic mechanism for the automatic equilibration of soil moisture distribution between the outside and the inside of the lysimeter tank but ...

Nitrogen and phosphorus losses from a feedlot for suckler cows [PDF]
The raising of cattle outdoors in winter is becoming more common in temperate areas, although there is little information available on the effects of this practice on forested environments.

Graminoids Increase Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Thawed Permafrost at the End of the Growing Season
Field study investigating whether and to which degree graminoids further reduce soil redox and lead to more greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost soil on top of hydrology and anoxia effects. Graminoids, thus, contribute to thawed permafrost soils turning to C sources rather than sinks toward the end of the growing season.

Estimation of Regional Evapotranspiration Using Remotely Sensed Land Surface Temperature. Part 2: Application of Equilibrium Evaporation Model to Estimate Evapotranspiration by Remote Sensing Technique [PDF]
In a humid region like Japan, it seems that the radiation term in the energy balance equation plays a more important role for evapotranspiration then does the vapor pressure difference between the surface and lower atmospheric boundary layer. A Priestley-

A Recording Snow Lysimeter [PDF]
AbstractAn instrument which continuously records the run-off from a small, well-defined snow cover is described. The lysimeter is reasonably priced and effective, requiring only modest service attention; details of the records which it takes are given also.
