Sentences with phrase «integrated soil water»

Whereas the corresponding precipitation variability can be described as a white noise stochastic process, power spectra of vertically integrated soil water exhibit significant redness on timescales of years to decades, since the predictability of soil water storage arises mostly from the integration of precipitation variability.

While we already knew that plant roots were capable of sensing many individual soil characteristics (water, nutrients and oxygen availability), we did not have any understanding of how they integrated these signals in order to respond in an appropriate way.

Further understanding how land formation techniques (leveling, grading, and raised - bed construction) for improved water and nutrient management and efficiencies affect soil structure and the behavior of nutrient and water dynamics is required to develop refined and integrated management practices and realize the potential of high - value non-rice crops.

Promising soil management techniques include controlled grazing; mulching with organic matter; applying manure and biosolids; use of cover crops in the rotation cycle; agroforestry; contour farming; hedgerows; terracing; plastic mulch for erosion control; no - till or conservation tillage; retention of crop residue; appropriate use of water and irrigation; and integrated nutrient management, including the judicious use of chemical fertilizers.
