Software Tools for Weed Seed Germination Modeling
The next generation of weed seed germination models will need to account for variable soil microclimate conditions. To predict this microclimate environment we have developed a suite of individual tools (models) that can be used in conjunction with the next generation of weed seed germination models. The three tools that will be outlined here are GlobalTempSIM, GlobalRainSIM, and the soil tempe...
متن کاملMultiscale Pedotransfer Functions for Soil Water Retention
Soil hydraulic properties are needed in globaland regionalscale circulation models for hydrologic and climate forecasting. They are also necessary in pointand nonpoint-source contaminant transport models. Prediction accuracy of these models is highly dependent on the quality of the model parameters. Collecting the required soil hydraulic parameters by direct measurement at any model grid scale ...
متن کاملWater Melon Seed as a Potential Coagulant for Water Treatment
This paper reports the potential of watermelon seed as a natural coagulant for water treatment. It was aimed at identifying watermelon seed as a possible replacement for alum and other synthetic polyelectrolytes in treating water. Laboratory scale studies using jar test experiments were performed on medium turbid water to determine the effect of dosage, pH stirring time and speed on coagulation...
متن کاملSAINTENOY AND HOPMANS: GPR WATER TABLE DETECTION SENSITIVITY 1 Ground Penetrating Radar: water table detection sensitivity to soil water retention properties
We are interested in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) as a geophysical tool useful for determining the depth of the ground water table (GWT) and for monitoring shallow water infiltration in sandy soils. At hydrostatic equilibrium, the water content distribution in a homogeneous unsaturated soil down to the water saturated zone depends on the soil water retention function. A classical way to fit r...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of the Nonparametric Nearest Neighbor Technique to Estimate Soil Water Retention
A k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) nonparametric algorithm variant was earlier applied successfully to estimate soil water retention. In this study, we tested the sensitivity of that k-NN variant to different data and algorithm options, such as: (i) estimations made to soils with differing distribution of properties; (ii) the use of different sample weighting methods; (iii) the number of ensembles we ...
