Sentences with phrase «evapotranspiration losses»

Researchers in the historical Beaver Creek experiments hypothesized that lower tree densities associated with thinning would reduce evapotranspiration losses, and thereby allow more water to be available for soil moisture, groundwater recharge, and surface water runoff [29].

Suggested mechanisms involve changes in the water cycle: increased evapotranspiration losses, extended water - stress periods, earlier snowmelt, and lengthened fire seasons.

evapotranspiration loss of water from the soil both by evaporation from the surface and transpiration from the plants growing thereon

Not exact matches

In this case, the additional force that pulls the water column up the vessels or tracheids is evapotranspiration, the loss of water from the leaves through openings called stomata and subsequent evaporation of that water.

Here it can be used by plants or evaporate directly, with water loss from both processes combined called evapotranspiration.

(Evapotranspiration is the process by which water is transferred from soil and groundwater to the atmosphere through plant transpiration — loss of water through foliage — and soil evaporation.)

In addition, the longer the stomates remain open (to try to take in the additional CO2), the more vulnerable the tree becomes to water loss through evapotranspiration.

Early evidence suggests that globally, the rate of water loss from soil and plants (called «evapotranspiration») has declined, a finding reinforced by a global slowdown in plant growth.

water - use efficiency carbon gain in photosynthesis per unit water lost in evapotranspiration; can be expressed on a short - term basis as the ratio of photosynthetic carbon gain per unit transpirational water loss, or on a seasonal basis as the ratio of net primary production or agricultural yield to the amount of available water

► Evapotranspiration - The sum of water loss into the atmosphere due to evaporation and transpiration.

Broad - scale changes in vegetation in general, and tree loss in particular, have pronounced effects on climate processes through biogeophysical mechanisms such as albedo, evapotranspiration (ET), and carbon dioxide exchange with the atmosphere [11].

He modified it in 1948 by including a moisture index that relates the amount of moisture a plant needs to the amount available, known as the Potential Evapotranspiration (PE)(evapotranspiration is the combined moisture loss from the surface either directly, due to evaporation, or indirectly transpired through the plant tEvapotranspiration (PE)(evapotranspiration is the combined moisture loss from the surface either directly, due to evaporation, or indirectly transpired through the plant tevapotranspiration is the combined moisture loss from the surface either directly, due to evaporation, or indirectly transpired through the plant to the atmosphere).
