In arid oasis regions, water resources are severely scarce, with agricultural water usage far
exceeding that of more humid areas. As a result, assessing non-productive water losses in …

Soil mulching has been widely used to improve crop productivity around the world, but how
various mulching practices affect soil hydrothermal conditions, water-temperature-radiation …

As a crucial living feature inhabiting the soil–atmosphere boundary, biocrusts play a vital
role in liquid water or vapor transport through surface soil and thus have strong effects on …

Soil evaporation is a three-stage process and plays a vital role in soil physical, chemical,
and biological processes, as well as global climate change. As an important living skin …

Soil mulching, eg straw mulching (SM) and ridge-furrow plastic film mulching (RP), has been
reported to promote rainfed crop production in semi-arid regions, but its applicability in …

Globally widespread biocrusts form a “living skin” on most dryland soils, helping govern
fundamental ecosystem functions, particularly hydrological processes. However, the …

The Jarvis‐type model, which incorporates stress functions, is commonly used to describe
the physiological behaviour of stomatal response in various vegetation species. However …

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) make up the majority of waterways in arid
and semi‐arid regions. While the physical underpinnings of surface water‐groundwater (SW …

Mulching techniques can comprise a solution that better utilizes precipitation and irrigation
water in such a manner that mitigates soil degradation and drought damage; however, there …

Considering the interference of the complexity of underground environment to the
bioremediation scheme, an evaluation model for bioremediation technology in the soil …
