Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...more water at the commencement than near the end of the experiment. It shows, also, a more uniform use by the heavier soils. It shows, for instance, that the soil in flume 54 had used relatively more than twice as much water as any other flume at the end of the first day, while on the fifteenth day it had used relatively only about one-fiftli more than the others. Table 20 showrs the amount of water required at different periods of time to advance the moisture in the flumes an average distance of 1 inch. For instance, on the third day, flume 24 had used 18 liters of water and the moisture had advanced 44.15 inches, or an average of 479 cubic centimeters of water was required per inch. A comparison of the figures in Table 20 with the moisture equivalents of the soils appears to show no close relation. However, in a general way the greater the moisture equivalent the greater the quantity of water required to advance the moisture 1 inch. It is ob147697--20--Bull. 835 3 Table 19.--Water used, by days, in percentages of total use in 30 days. served in nearly all of the flumes that less water is required per inch about the third day than at any other time. In all cases, however, more water was required per inch at the end than was required at the beginning of the experiment. It is observed that for soils of the heavier type represented in flume 54, for some time after the commencement of the experiment less water is required per inch than for the following day, but after about the thirtieth day there is a very rapid increase of the water requirements. It is probable that there is some concentration of moisture at the top of the vertical lift before the moisture changes direction to the inclined part of the flume and that this moisture is...
Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations, 2e describes the principles of water relations within soils, followed by the uptake of water and its subsequent movement throughout and from the plant body. This is presented as a progressive series of physical and biological interrelations, even though each topic is treated in detail on its own. The book also describes equipment used to measure water in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. At the end of each chapter is a biography of a scientist whose principles are discussed in the chapter. In addition to new information on the concept of celestial time, this new edition also includes new chapters on methods to determine sap flow in plants dual-probe heat-pulse technique to monitor water in the root zone. - Provides the necessary understanding to address advancing problems in water availability for meeting ecological requirements at local, regional and global scales - Covers plant anatomy: an essential component to understanding soil and plant water relations
Poor soil and water management are often related to insufficient or poor rainfall distribution around the world. In modern agriculture, over-cultivation, deforestation, overgrazing, and high dependence on an irrigated cropping system with water-intensive crops increase soil and water erosion. This book examines ways of improving soil moisture management to support environmental, food, social, and economic security under a sustainable ecosystem.
