The traditional source apportionment models, such as absolute principal component scores-
multiple linear regression (APCS-MLR), are usually susceptible to outliers, which may be …

Table grape production requires large amount of water, which can be problematic in semi-
arid Mediterranean regions, where climate change projections anticipated reductions in …

The current study aims to document evapotranspiration and associated surface energy
fluxes for rainfed annual crops within a Mediterranean hilly agrosystem, in order to provide …

Accurate knowledge of evapotranspiration (ET) and irrigation return flow is critical for the
sustainable management of water resources in arid inland river basins. Flood irrigation with …

Water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and improving water productivity (WP) is
crucial to the development of dryland farming on the Chinese Loess Plateau. Fertilization …

Soil available water capacity (SAWC) is a key factor to be considered when assessing soil
capability to provide ecosystem services. The current study deepens the use of remotely …

abstract In humid plains with shallow water-tables, vegetation and groundwater influence
each other through different mechanisms. Therefore, agricultural management decisions …

Determination of soil volumetric water content θ in forest ecosystems is particularly
challenging due to deep rooting systems and unknown soil vertical and spatial …

Purpose Gravel mulch has emerged as a highly effective strategy for reducing evaporation
in arid region. However, the accuracy of models in simulating evaporation under mulch …

Large-scale afforestation can combat desertification, provide ecosystem services, and
