Journal ArticleDOI
Response of mean annual evapotranspiration to vegetation changes at catchment scale
TL;DR: In this article, a simple two-parameter model was developed that relates mean annual evapotranspiration to rainfall, potential evapOTranspiration, and plant-available water capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of paired catchment studies for determining changes in water yield resulting from alterations in vegetation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the use of paired catchment studies for determining the changes in water yield at various time scales resulting from permanent changes in vegetation and highlight the potential underestimation of water yield changes if regrowth experiments are used to predict the likely impact of permanent alterations to a catchment's vegetation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rational function approach for estimating mean annual evapotranspiration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effects of climatic and catchment characteristics on the partitioning of mean annual precipitation into evapotranspiration using a rational function approach, which was developed based on phenomenological considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global impacts of conversions from natural to agricultural ecosystems on water resources: Quantity versus quality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider potential impacts on water resources, particularly trade-offs between water, salt, and nutrient balances, to develop sustainable water resources to meet human and ecosystem needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of limited irrigation on yield and water use efficiency of winter wheat in the Loess Plateau of China
TL;DR: In this paper, a field experiment was conducted for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during the period 1995-1998 to evaluate the effects of limited irrigation on yield and water use efficiency.
