The use of high-resolution weighing lysimeters to improve estimates of soil evaporation in drip-irrigated olive orchards
نویسنده
چکیده
Soil surface resistance increase quickly during the first three days after irrigation or rain event. By explicitly incorporating surface resistance in simple equations, daily total evaporation estimation of a drip-irrigated olive grove was significantly improved. This increase in soil surface resistance could explain why observed cumulative soil evaporation is higher in locations with lower irradiance. In these locations surface resistance increased more slowly during the first days after irrigation.

Adsorption of Water Vapor by Bare Soil in an Olive Grove in Southern Spain
Data for water vapor adsorption and evaporation are presented for a bare soil (sandy loam, clay content 15%) in a southern Spanish olive grove. Water losses and gains were measured using eight high-precision minilysimeters, placed around an olive tree, which had been irrigated until the soil reached field capacity (!0.22 m m). They were subsequently left to dry for 10 days. A pair of lysimeters...

Abstract The class A pan method has been one of the most popular methods due to its simplicity, relatively low cost, and producing daily evapotranspiration estimates. Because of the large area occupied by a class A pan, alternative methods have been sought to estimate ETo inside greenhouses. With the objective of evaluating the performance of evaporation pan in estimating the water consumption...
متن کاملThe effects of soil salt crusts on soil evaporation and chemical changes in different ages of Taklimakan Desert Shelterbelts
Understanding soil evaporation in reforestation processes in an area of extreme drought is important. We examined the effects of drip-irrigated, high-salinity groundwater on the formation of soil salt crusts and subsequent soil evaporation in the Taklimakan Desert Highway Shelterbelt. Soil evaporation was measured using micro-lysimeters (MLS, 20 cm in length × 10 cm in diameter), and chemical c...

Treatments included border irrigation (BI), fullymulched drip irrigation (F...
متن کاملMeasurement and modeling of evapotranspiration of olive (Olea europaea L.) orchards
Efficient irrigation management requires a good quantification of evapotranspiration. In the case of olive orchards, which are the dominant crop in vast areas of southern Europe, very little information exists on evaporation. Measurements of aerodynamic conductance and evaporation above and below an olive orchard allowed the calibration of a transpiration model of olive trees based on the Penma...
