In this book two of the world's most distinguished specialists in the field offer an expert yet highly readable account of both the problem and potential solutions.  \u003cp\u003eDrawing on the work of agronomists, soil scientists, and meteorologists, the authors provide a clear overview of the theories and data that explain the process of evaporation from free water and soils that are bare, tilled, or residue-covered. In a discussion of the benefits of tillage in reducing evaporation, they consider different types of soil and the merits of post drying depth-distribution of soil water in treated and untreated soil. Straw mulching, as another means of reducing evaporation, receives the same extended treatment, followed by an appraisal of the effects of different combinations of tillage and mulching on evaporation and water use during fallow and cropped periods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAddressing a pressing issue in a thorough and objective fashion, this book will assist future decision makers about water conservation management in different climates, under various conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface. \u003cp\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Process of Evaporation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasurement and Modeling of Soil Evaporation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvaporation Reduction by Tillage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvaporation Reduction by Straw Mulching.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvaporation Reduction by Combing Mulching.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Agriculture \u0026amp; farming [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Agriculture \u0026amp; farming\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Agriculture%20\u0026amp;%20farming%20%5BTV%5D%22\"\u003eTV\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52410712949016,"sku":"9780813828572","price":91.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780813828572.jpg?v=1784249804","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/reducing-soil-water-evaporation-with-tillage-and-straw-mulching-hardback-9780813828572","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
