The Great Plains region of the United States is an area of widespread dryland crop
production, with wheat being the dominant crop. Precipitation in the region ranges from 300 to …

Weighing lysimeters and neutron probes (NP) are both used to determine the change in soil
water storage needed to solve for evapotranspiration (ET) using the soil water balance …

It is estimated that 20% of cotton producers in the Texas High Plains use the strip tillage
practice of planting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in residues of chemically terminated winter …

Currently accepted pedotransfer functions show negligible effect of management‐induced
changes to soil organic carbon (SOC) on plant available water holding capacity (θ AWHC ), …

Grain yields of dryland (nonirrigated) grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], a major
crop in the southern Great Plains, more than tripled in studies at the USDA‐ARS …

Soil loss due to wind and water erosion degrades the soil on-site and results in environmental
problems due to deposition in off-site areas downstream and downwind of the source field…

In agriculture, evapotranspiration (ET) is a major consumptive use of irrigation water and
precipitation on cropland. Global interest in sustainable management of limited freshwater …

Various soil health indicators that measure a chemically defined fraction of nitrogen (N) or a
process related to N cycling have been proposed to quantify the potential to supply N to …

The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a widely used watershed model for simulating
stream flow, overland flow, and sediment, pesticide, and bacterial loading in response to …

Surface energy imbalance problems have been underexplored especially under advective
environments. Here, we present a novel analysis of surface energy fluxes from three distinct …
