Arid and semiarid environments are characterized by low water availability (eg, in soil and atmosphere), high air temperature, and irregularity in the spatio-temporal distribution of …
Improved understanding of crop water use is vital for aiding water-saving and sustainable production practices, particularly for water-restricted regions, where limited observations …
We have studied the effects of partial root-zone drying (PRD) on plant physiological response, plant-soil water dynamics, yield and fruit quality of young orange trees during the …
The main limitation of conventional methods generally used for monitoring the crop water stress lies in the expenditure of time and laboriousness (eg, stem water potential, Ψ stem). In …
Mass and energy exchanges between soil, plants and atmosphere control a number of key environmental processes involving hydrology, biota and climate. The understanding of these …
An accurate estimate of crop coefficient (K c) values at different development stages (K cini, K cmid, and K cend) is crucial for assessing crop water requirements in semi-arid regions …
Plant roots activity affect the exchanges of mass and energy between the soil and atmosphere. However, it is challenging to monitor the activity of the root-zone because roots …
