Temporal variation of Manning roughness coefficient in furrow irrigation and its relationship with various field parameters by Hadi Rezaei Rad, Hamed Ebrahimian, Abdolmajid Liaghat, Fatemeh Khalaji, Mahshid Shabani Arani

“…Pearson and Kendall statistical tests revealed that the Manning roughness coefficient during the entire irrigation event was strongly correlated with advance time (r = 0.65, p < 0.01) and moderately correlated with inflow and outflow rates, as well as initial soil moisture and cross-sectional flow area. A weak correlation was observed between the roughness coefficient and the furrow slope (r = 0.238). …”

Response of Soil C and N, Dissolved Organic C and N, and Inorganic N to Short-Term Experimental Warming in an Alpine Meadow on the Tibetan Plateau by Cheng-Qun Yu, Zhen-Xi Shen, Xian-Zhou Zhang, Wei Sun, Gang Fu

“…Experimental warming increased soil temperature by ~1–1.4°C but decreased soil moisture by ~0.04 m3 m−3. Experimental warming had little effects on SOC, TN, DOC, and DON, which may be related to lower warming magnitude, the short period of warming treatment, and experimental warming-induced soil drying by decreasing soil microbial activity. …”

Biodegradable mulch as microclimate modification effort for improving the growth of horenso; Spinacia oleracea L. by A. Iriany, F. Hasanah, D. Roeswitawati, M.F. Bela

“…FINDINGS: All tested biodegradable mulch compositions could modify microclimate by decreasing 1-2°C of soil temperature and maintaining the soil moisture within the range of 63-84%. Although there was no significant difference in the growth and yield of horenso among the differing biodegradable mulch compositions, the biodegradable mulch composition treatments resulted in signficantly higher value than the control (without mulch). …”
