Sentences with phrase «when soil moisture»

When soil moisture exceeds 20 %, there's a high mortality in flea larvae.

The daily electrical - capacitance variations decreased when soil moisture was below the wilting point and completely ceased below the soil volumetric water content of 11 percent, suggesting that the effect of water stress on electrical capacitance was observed through its impact on photosynthesis.

When soil loses carbon, it also loses moisture retention.

Benjamin Sulman − a biologist at Indiana University, but then of the Princeton University Environmental Institute in the US − and colleagues report in Nature Climate Change that they have developed a new computer model to examine what really happens, on a global scale, when plants colonise the soil and start taking in moisture and carbon from the atmosphere.

The climate models employed in the IPCC's Fourth Assessment are clearly deficient in their ability to correctly simulate soil moisture trends, even when applied to the past and when driven by observed climate forcings.

Instead, the full impacts only become clear when you combine the precipitation data with temperature information to get an idea of how much moisture is being evaporated from the soil.

I guess you could view the nodes and links that I was describing as a layer of network above those you see on Tsonis's site if each of his spatial graphs (networks) were for one parameter such as wind velocity, humidity, pressure, temperature, evaporation rate, soil moisture, etc and extended to three dimensions when proper.

Depending on the region, the persistence from spring to summer of soil moisture or snow anomalies generated during spring by temperature and precipitation variations may explain river flows variations in summer, when no concomitant climate variations exist.
