The e€ects of landscape changes on winter and spring snow-related processes, and on regional weather and climate are not thoroughly understood. In this study, a climate version of the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (ClimRAMS) is used to investigate the e€ects of landscape change on seasonal snow depletion and its corresponding e€ects on atmospheric and hydrologic processes. Two simulatio...

Evapotranspiration (ET), which is a combination of the words evaporation and transpiration, expressed as sum water due to consumption in plants. In this study, NASA Drought Early Warning Systems Network Land Data Assimilation System model (FLDAS NOAH) was used determine evapotranspiration data for 2018-2019 years (October 2017-September 2019) on Turkey. addition, Global (GLDAS temperature data....

Present-day land surface schemes used in weather prediction and climate models include parameterizations of physical processes whose complex nonlinear interactions can lead to models of unknown spatial and temporal characteristics. This paper describes the timescales of the evapotranspiration response of 16 land surface schemes which participated in the Project for Intercomparison of Land-surfa...

Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, and include groundwater dynamics, unsaturated zone flow, evaporation/transpiration from vegetated/ bare soil and surf...

The principles are discussed of bench terracing and deep tined tillage, on the level contour, appliedto selected shallow soils on steep slopes of the Ifafa area on the Natal south coast. Results from 36 month old timber (Eucalyptus grandis) and [4 month old sugarcane (N16) grown on bench terraces are reported and compared with current practices. The implications of this site-specific technique ...

Measurements of stream flow around the world have documented an increase in the amount of water that runs off the continents and returns to the ocean. This trend has been occurring since the beginning of the century, yet changes in precipitation over land do not sufficiently account for this increase. On page 835 of this issue, Gedney et al. identify an important contributor to increasing globa...

[1] Relative impacts of multiple global change factors on ecohydrological processes in terrestrial ecosystems have not been carefully studied. In this study, we used a terrestrial ecosystem (TECO) model to examine effects of three global change factors (i.e., climate warming, elevated CO2, and altered precipitation) individually and in combination on runoff, evaporation, transpiration, rooting ...

In situ volumetric soil-water contents were measured on 11 days at 0.20 m depth intervals to 1.0 m in a field experiment with four replicates of a dry-land corn hybrid (Pioneer 3140) at plant populations of 37, 49, and 62 thousand plants haÿ1. These measurements were used to estimate total soil-water losses in each of the 12 field plots for each of the 10 measurement intervals. The area of the ...
