Improving plant-available water estimation using model averaging of national soil water models by Brendan P. Malone, Ross D. Searle, Siyuan Tian, Thomas F. Bishop, Yi Yu, Yi Yu, Yi Yu

“…This study investigates a temporally dynamic implementation of the Granger–Ramanathan (GRA) model averaging approach to improve in situ and spatial estimates of plant-available water (PAW) in southeastern and southern Australia.MethodsTwo hypotheses were tested: (1) that GRA model averaging improves point-scale PAW predictions compared to individual models, and (2) that spatially scaling GRA coefficients produces more accurate PAW maps than equal-weight averaging. …”

A Three‐Stage Partitioning Framework for Modeling Mean Annual Groundwater Evapotranspiration by Fanzhang Zeng, Yu Zhang, Jeffrey S. Geurink, Kshitij Parajuli, Lili Yao, Dingbao Wang

“…GWET ratio increases as parameter ‘b’ increases due to more watershed area with larger available water for GWET. The storage capacity index and shape parameters are estimated for 31 study watersheds in Tampa Bay Florida area based on the simulated GWET from an integrated hydrologic model and for 21 watersheds from literature. …”

Evolution of Water Quality Regulations in the United States and Florida by Kati W. Migliaccio, Yuncong Li, Thomas A. Obreza

“…Not only do we all need a certain quantity of water each day, but the quality of the available water is also critical. Water quality protection in the United States evolved from initially ensuring navigability of waterways to protecting our natural ecosystems. …”

High-Resolution prediction of soil pH in European temperate forests using Sentinel-2 and ancillary environmental data by Haidi Abdullah, Andrew K. Skidmore, Andjin Siegenthaler, Elnaz Neinavaz

“…Despite challenges in signal penetration due to forest canopy cover, the model achieved high prediction accuracy (R² = 0.62) at 30 m resolution. Bulk density, available water capacity, and clay content were the most influential physical predictors, while Sentinel-2 bands, particularly SWIR (1.610 and 2.190 μm), NIR (0.842 μm), and red-edge (0.705 and 0.783 μm), captured key vegetation responses related to soil acidity. …”

Delimitation of irrigation management zones in banana cultivation using satellite images and physical and chemical soil attributes by Jonathan Zhiminaicela-Cabrera, Diego Villaseñor-Ortiz, Eduardo Tusa, Angel Luna-Romero

“…Through a correlation matrix between the mean values of physical and chemical soil variables and the spectral indices per hectare, a correlation was identified between the water stress index and factors such as sand content, electrical conductivity, soil texture class, and available water. The geospatial analysis allowed for the accurate delimitation of irrigation zones, compared to those defined solely by the physical and chemical properties of the soil. …”
