Sentences with phrase «high evapotranspiration»

Combined with fuel loads, higher evapotranspiration rates and resulting shifts in water balance may be the best predictor of increased fire risk and fire severity in the future under a changing climate (Littell and Gwozdz 2011; Abatzoglou and Kolden 2013).

Not exact matches

Evapotranspiration is another way plants can communicate with high - tech irrigation systems.

«Even if an area remains wet doesn't mean that it will be protected from the other aspects of climate change: rising and far more erratic air temperatures, higher rates of evaporation (evapotranspiration), and the rising concentration of CO2,» he said in an e-mail message.

Throughout the same experiment, Hunsaker et al. (2000) determined that the extra 200 ppm of CO2 reduced seasonal evapotranspiration by about 1 and 4 % under conditions of low and high soil nitrogen, respectively.

Plants response to higher CO2 levels result in less water utilation for photosynthesis (esp C4) which results in large gains of leaf growth (more growth for same water)-- forcing evapotranspiration to increase.

We get a higher air temperature (i.e. by increased sensible heat flux) and increase in evapotranspiration (i.e. increased latent heat flux).

Had the model started with a higher warming figure, it would have resulted in a higher warming figure when evapotranspiration was plugged in.»

Event attribution analysis suggests that human induced greenhouse gas increases may also have contributed by causing evapotranspiration rates to be higher than they would have been under pre-industrial conditions.

There is little evidence for a human influence on precipitation deficits, but a lot of evidence for a human fingerprint on surface soil moisture deficits — starting with increased evapotranspiration caused by higher temperatures.

The situation is different in the tropics where higher temperatures result in higher rates of evapotranspiration, the process by which forests release water into the atmosphere.

However, the high rates of evapotranspiration, nearly 1 gallon / square foot of green roof / day, eliminated the volume of wastewater.
