Methodological Aspects of the Estimation of Soil Water Evaporation upon Mulching with Vegetative Remains in Arid Regions

Abstract

The method and scheme of the calculation of soil water evaporation upon mulching in arid regions are presented. A detailed description of the parameters of information support is given. The proposed simplified scheme for the calculation of soil water evaporation upon mulching is based on parametrization of precipitation. Precipitation parametrization simplifies much of the calculation of soil water evaporation with mulching while maintaining acceptable accuracy.
