MAD is the maximum amount of water than can be removed from the soil, expressed as a fraction of total plant available water (PAW), before plant stress occurs (Snyder, 2014) and is used to determine when irrigation is needed to replace the volume of water removed from the soil and any ...
The simple available water capacity (AWC) calculation from surface parameters were compared to vertical profiles of plant available water (PAW). The limit between the vadose and saturated zones was determined by comparison between the shrinkage and compaction pathways of the clay matrix. Patterns of ...
This study examines the impact of adding ASi into soils with varying textures on the soil–plant–water relations atmosphere continuum. We hypothesize that ASi, by enhancing the retention and flow of water within soils, may facilitate plant access to water during soil drying, the magnitude of whi...
Plant water deficit is initiated as the crop demand for water exceeds the supply. The capacity of plants to meet the demand and thus avoid water deficit depends on their “hydraulic machinery.” This machinery involves firstly the reduction of net radiat

(Fig.4b,cand Supplementary Tables3and4). Particularly, plant community height increased with rising temperature, regardless of confounding water and nutrient status (Fig.4band Supplementary Fig.15a). After accounting for the covariation among the influencing factors, the structural equation models also ...
The growth inhibition rate was calculated as the following equation: $$\,{I} \, (\%)=({C}-{T})/({C}-{d})\times 100.$$ where I is the inhibition rate (%), d is the diameter of the mycelium disc (5 mm). C and T are the average colony diameters of the mycelium of ...
Formulation of root water uptake in a multi-layer soil-plant model: Does van den Honert's equation hold? Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci. 2, 31-40.J.-P. Lhomme, Formulation of root water uptake in a multi-layer soil-plant model: does van den Honert's equation hold? Hydrol. Earth Syst. ...
The water displacement method was used to measure wood-specific gravity. A litter trap (1 m×1 m) was used to collect litter from the tree vicinity. To measure the total tree biomass of each individual plot (100 m2), the allometric equation was used (Chave et al., 2014):AGB=0.0673×...
especially in the places where centralized/decentralizeddrinking water treatmentplants are not operating or not available, common household water treatment practices including boiling should be regularly used (e.g., SARS-CoV-2 can be completely inactivated when heated at 92°C for 15 minutes (Pastorin...
