Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies have elucidated the importance of water stress on plant growth, yield, quality and susceptibility to disease. Via the vascular network of xylem, a water conductive tissue, plant water stress responds dynamically to variations in evaporative demand defined by micrometeorological conditions over minutes to hours, and soil water availability over hours to months. Stem water potential is believed to be an integrator of water stress across the soil-plantatmosphere-continuum (SPAC), and is difficult to measure. Despite its destructive nature, 50 years after its invention, the manually operated Schölander pressure chamber (SPC) is still the most widely accepted tool for stem water potential measurements. Limitations in available techniques have hindered the study of dynamic water stress in plants. In this dissertation, we introduce a micro-tensiometer (μTM) as a new technique, for probing the dynamic water stress of plants in an accurate and continuous manner. We examine the reliability of μTM against SPC, on apple (2 months), grapevine (12 months), and almond (4 months), to represent woody species in wet, semi-arid, and arid environments respectively. We observe: 1) nighttime disequilibrium in stem water potential that is challenging to acquire with the labor-intensive SPC; 2) rapid response of stem water potential to evaporative demand in wet environment; and 3) slow dynamics and persistent disequilibrium of the water-stressed almond in dry environment. With the advantage of continuous measurements and inspired by van den Honert, we use circuit models to interpret the observed dynamics. In a wet environment, a simple circuit with a single hydraulic resistance and a single hydraulic capacitance, is sufficient for elucidating the rapid response of plants to the high frequent variations in environmental demand. In a dry environment,an additional soil compartment defined by the soil retention properties, is used to address the long transient of soil dehydration. We now have models as new tools to resolve the complex dynamics of water stress. We also measure the dynamic water stress in maize, the first examination on herbaceous crops with this tool. The measured stress is less coupled to the rapid variations in evaporative demand, but more to the soil water potential around the roots. In fact, we extract an empirical water retention curve for the soil that coincides with the theoretical prediction. The μTM, therefore, opens up an opportunity to monitor the root-zone soil stress, a challenging property to access. Finally, we explore the response of plants to fine control of irrigation events, and discover that the transient of root response to irrigation events is shorter when less stressed (nighttime) and longer when more stressed (daytime). This phenomenon suggests more effective irrigation events when plants are less stressed with reduced water loss. The micro-tensiometer and the developed circuit models, together, provide opportunities to unveil the full dynamics of plant water stress, address the transient factor in plant physiological responses to both short and long-term dehydration processes, and guide more efficient management of agricultural water use.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Agrophysics by : Jan Gliński
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Agrophysics written by Jan Gliński and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Encyclopedia of Agrophysics will provide up-to-date information on the physical properties and processes affecting the quality of the environment and plant production. It will be a "first-up" volume which will nicely complement the recently published Encyclopedia of Soil Science, (November 2007) which was published in the same series. In a single authoritative volume a collection of about 250 informative articles and ca 400 glossary terms covering all aspects of agrophysics will be presented. The authors will be renowned specialists in various aspects in agrophysics from a wide variety of countries. Agrophysics is important both for research and practical use not only in agriculture, but also in areas like environmental science, land reclamation, food processing etc. Agrophysics is a relatively new interdisciplinary field closely related to Agrochemistry, Agrobiology, Agroclimatology and Agroecology. Nowadays it has been fully accepted as an agricultural and environmental discipline. As such this Encyclopedia volume will be an indispensable working tool for scientists and practitioners from different disciplines, like agriculture, soil science, geosciences, environmental science, geography, and engineering.

Book Synopsis Evapotranspiration in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere System by : Viliam Novak
Download or read book Evapotranspiration in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere System written by Viliam Novak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evapotranspiration and its components (evaporation and transpiration) as a process is one of the basic terms of Earth's water balance; its importance is accented by the fact that transpiration is the vital element of the biomass production process. The second important property of evapotranspiration is its extreme consumption of solar energy, thus controlling the temperature of the atmosphere and creating favourable conditions for life. Evapotranspiration as an energy consuming process is also the connection between the energy and mass cycles of the Earth. Evapotranspiration is a process performing in the Soil–Plant –Atmosphere System (SPAS); therefore this book is presenting and quantifying it as a catenary process, describing transport of water in the soil, including root extraction patterns and methods of its evaluation. Transport of water through the plant and from the canopy to the atmosphere is also described and quantified. A variety of evapotranspiration (and its components evaporation and transpiration) calculation methods are described, starting from empirical methods up to the most sophisticated ones based on the solution of the transport equations of water and energy in the SPAS. The most important (and widely used) calculation method - modified Penman–Monteith method is described in details, ready to be used with data in the book only. Water balance method of evapotranspiration estimation as well as sap flow method description can be found in the book as well. The book can be used by hydrologists, biologists, meteorologists and other specialists as well as by ecology students. Key themes: soil hydrology – evapotranspiration – hydropedology– plant physiology – water movement in soils – evaporation – transpiration Dr. Viliam Novák is a water resources scientist at the Institute of Hydrology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava (Slovakia).

Book Synopsis Transport in the Atmosphere-Vegetation-Soil Continuum by : Arnold F. Moene
Download or read book Transport in the Atmosphere-Vegetation-Soil Continuum written by Arnold F. Moene and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, soil science, atmospheric science, hydrology, plant science and agriculture have been studied largely as separate subjects. These systems are clearly interlinked, however, and in recent years a great deal of interdisciplinary research has been undertaken to better understand the interactions. This textbook was developed from a course that the authors have been teaching for many years on atmosphere-vegetation-soil interactions at one of the leading international research institutes in environmental science and agriculture. The book describes the atmosphere-vegetation-soil continuum from the perspective of several interrelated disciplines, integrated into one textbook. The text is interspersed with many student exercises and problems, with solutions included. It will be ideal for intermediate to advanced students in meteorology, hydrology, soil science, environmental sciences and biology who are studying the atmosphere-vegetation-soil continuum, as well as researchers and professionals interested in the observation and modelling of atmosphere-vegetation-soil interactions.
