plant. Sometimes, theDis the economically valuable part of the crop (for example the grain, tuber, or fruit) andWUErefers to yield. One may also consider the water use efficiency of a single leaf, and so on. The higher the production per unit of water use, the higher the efficiency. ...
Water use efficiency (WUE) is an important ecophysiological characteristic of plants, especially in semiarid and arid regions. At the scale of community or ecosystem, WUE is difficult to quantify because the amount of water used per unit dry mass production is a function of microclimatic variables...
Water-use efficiency is a rather flexible term depending on the scale being considered, e.g. at the leaf or whole plant level. Biomass-WUE takes the whole plant into account and is defined as plant dry matter production per unit of water loss via transpiration during the vegetation period (...
Consequently, a primary outcome for both experiments was significantly higher irrigation water use efficiency (yield per unit irrigation water) for NDVI than FAO. Incorporating Kcb estimates based on NDVI within existing crop coefficient algorithms provides an opportunity to improve wheat irrigation ...
Except N, which had no significant effect on WUE (P > 0.05, Fig.6), other fertilization measures significantly improved the WUE of maize (P > 0.05) compared with no fertilization. The rate of change in water use efficiency from high to low was NPK (160.72%) > NPKO (144....

(NEP) by coupling carbon fluxes with ET throughwater use efficiency(WUE) parameters byland covertype as derived from global flux network data. The WaSSI model is in the public domain, simple to be implemented with minimum data requirements, and thus has been tested worldwide in the U.S. (...
In our research, we demonstrate the potential impact of lagre-scale afforestation on the water use efficiency of residents living in Southwest China, and the cause of this phenomenon. In order to support our analysis, we calculated the impacts of afforestation and restoration based on natural vege...
