[1] An important factor controlling catchment-scale water balance is the seasonal variation of climate. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the seasonal distributions of water and energy, and their interactions with the soil moisture store, on mean annual water balance in Australia at catchment scales using a stochastic model of soil moisture balance with seasonally varying fo...

Conservation agriculture is often presented as being ‘climate smart’ due to anticipated increases in soil moisture. The extent of enhanced water availability in farmers’ fields is, however, poorly documented. This paper presents five data sets describing soil moisture in fields of small-scale conservation and conventional farmers in the Agro-ecological Zone IIa, Zambia. The data include (1) soi...

Ecological aspects of abandoned lands can be determine from many aspects, including the family diversity and ability to absorb water. This study aims important value index based on tree water (infiltration rate permeability) land after traditional gardens. The vegetation survey trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) >5 cm was carried out 10 sub-plots each measuring 20 m × m. Infiltrati...
