Natural and planted grasslands play a very important role in agriculture as source of various
ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration and biodiversity, and are responsible …

In Southern Europe, irrigated agriculture is by far the largest consumer of freshwater
resources. However, consistent information on irrigation water use in the European Union is …

Evapotranspiration is an important component of the hydrological cycle and its accurate
quantification is crucial for the design, operation and management of irrigation systems …

The Central Asian countries face high water scarcity due to aridity and desertification but
excess water is often applied to the main irrigated crops. This over-irrigation contributes to …

Unreasonable irrigation water saving and salinity control practices (IWS-SCPs) have
resulted in a shallow groundwater table, severe soil salinization and low water use efficiency …

The study sought to determine the appropriate basal crop coefficients for maize through the
calibration and validation of the model SIMDualKc using various treatments of maize …

The south of Portugal is one of the regions that will be most affected by the impacts of
climate change (CC), with an expected increase in water scarcity. Irrigated super-intensive …

This paper reports on using independent historic datasets relative to 19 years (1972–1990)
experiments with maize for the calibration, validation and further testing of the irrigation …

Understanding of evapotranspiration (ET) processes over Andean mountain environments is
crucial, particularly due to the importance of these regions to deliver water-related …

Independent historic datasets on irrigated maize, collected over seven years (1984–1990),
were used to parameterize the irrigation scheduling model ISAREG. Experimental data were …
