Irrigated agriculture has the potential to contribute substantially to food security if solutions
for more moderate fresh water consumption in irrigation can be provided. Actual and …

The design and selection of ideal emitter discharge rates can be aided by accurate
information regarding the wetted soil pattern under surface drip irrigation. The current field …

Core Ideas Parameters of different RWU models were optimized using data from a rhizotron
facility. The same soil hydraulic properties were obtained for models considering RWU …

The soil moisture status near the land surface is a key determinant of vegetation productivity.
The critical soil moisture content determines the transition from an energy-limited to a water …

The investigation of biological fluidic mechanisms is a persistent topic of interest and offers
valuable inspiration to address the challenges confronting chemical engineering …

Tree rooting strategies are driven by external and internal factors such as climate conditions
(rain frequency, wind direction), soil structure and crop type. In order to ensure water …

Vegetation acts as a natural engineering approach that can enhance the stability of shallow
soil slopes. However, the intrinsic uncertainties of vegetation, particularly the randomness of …

Understanding root growth characteristics is important for on-farm water management. The
objectives of this study were to determine the root growth of barley under different irrigation …

Background and Aims: Evapotranspiration is an important part of the water cycle and energy
cycle. However, even under the same climatic condition, there are spatial differences in …

Climate changes will increase the probability of drought, which is likely to dramatically
increase tree mortality. The capacity of trees to withdraw water in deep soil layers is an …
