Normalized different water indices (NDWIs) derived from satellite images are commonly and
successfully utilized in surface water body detection and mapping. In this study, the water …

Quantifying soil water storage is important for plant growth and agricultural production. This
is particularly important in sandy soils because they are widely cultivated and prone to …

Soil with a 20–60 cm thick subsoil (60–90 cm below the surface) sand layer has been
recently reclaimed to exploit its grain production potential in an arid region in northwest …

Sandy soils are characterized by low soil moisture content and nutrient retention due to high
permeability, limiting crop productivity and threatening food security in arid and semi-arid …

In this study, a two-year study in fields with and without a subsurface sand layer (identified
as FSS and FNS) were conducted in the Hetao Irrigation District in Northwest China, to …

Perennial ryegrass is generally known as exhibiting poor drought tolerance with poor
recuperative capacity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of acute drought …

Subsurface water retention technology (SWRT) is a new, long‐term approach developed to
improve water storage capacities of sandy soils for sustainable crop production. It consists of …

Soil water deficits and associated plant water stresses comprise the greatest abiotic
hindrance to sustainable plant growth. Essential supplemental irrigation without water …

The subsurface water retention technology (SWRT) is modern method for detention irrigation
or rainfall water under surface soil in root zone depth in order to save water in soil profile for …

Sustainable crop production in a coarse soil texture is challenging due to high water
permeability and low soil water holding capacity. In this paper, subsurface water retention …
