seasons. You don’t necessarily need to stop growing the crops that make your farm successful, though. Instead, you can choose crop varieties that require less water than others. For example, if you want to grow watermelon, choose a relatively drought-tolerant variety likeBlack D...
focuses on a paper published in the same issue concerning studies using highly resolved data from water meters or satellites to address the question on the effectiveness of water conservation strategies and how with advanced data analysis models the data can determine local strategies for water ...
An analysis of drought as a phenomenon and the proposal how to define and quantify lack of water in soil for plants, so called "physiological drought" is described. The presented approach is based on the theoretical considerations and empirically estimated relationships between biomass production of ...
Cover a ridge of soil around the tree’s drip line with a 2-inch layer of organic matter or cow manure. Scatter ammonium sulfate and sulfur over the manure. Flood the basin with enough water to soak the soil to a depth of 3 feet. Keep the soil moist for several weeks. The tr...

To prevent devastating droughts and floods, humanity can tune in to natural solutions to repair water cycles that human development has disrupted
Warming and drought will occur with increased frequency and intensity at high latitudes in the future. How heat and water stress can influence tree mortality is incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate how carbon resources, stem hydraulics, and wood anatomy and density ...
Water is the single most essential resource for a tree's survival and growth, far more important than fertilizing, disease and pest control, or any other biological need. Most of us understand the need to water trees during dry times, but what we often forget is that a tree can also be ...
