The manifestations of climate change in precipitation, air temperature and simulated evapotranspiration for crops the Tadla perimeter central Morocco are examined. study area is characterized by a semi-arid climate, with potential agricultural vocation. This exposed to scarcity water resources crop irrigation. To this effect, it treating rainfall over 60 years (1958-2018) at 27 measuring statio...

Tillage practices are known to affect soil water retention, plant available and, consequently, crop production. Impacts can be determined by assessing hydraulic properties and characteristics. In this study, three tillage were investigated with respect vertical distribution development of soybean. A specific focus was set on determining evaporation transpiration as fractions evapotranspiration ...

Evaporation losses from a watertight 6.34 ha rain forest catchment under wet maritime tropical conditions in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico, were determined using complementary hydrological and micrometeorological techniques during 1996 and 1997. At 6.6 mm d−1 for 1996 and 6.0 mm d−1 for 1997, the average evapotranspiration (ET ) of the forest is exceptionally high. Rainfall inte...

The potential sensitivity of ecological models to differences in soil temperature and soil water from land-surface models was evaluated by using model output from the PILPS land-surface model comparison. Simulated soil water and temperatures from the land-surface models were used to calculate the abiotic decomposition factor (ADF). ADF is used by ecosystem models to directly control microbial a...

Using two climate-vegetation model simulations from the Fast Ocean Atmosphere Model (FOAM) and the Community Climate System Model (CCSM, version 2), we investigate vegetation-precipitation feedbacks across North Africa during the mid-Holocene. From mid-Holocene snapshot runs of FOAM and CCSM2, we detect a negative feedback at the annual timescale with our statistical analysis. Using the Monte-C...
