Comparison of hourly and daily reference crop evapotranspiration equations across seasons and climate zones in Australia
Estimates from the FAO Penman–Monteith (FAO-PM) and the standardized ASCE Penman–Monteith(ASCE-PM) hourly and daily reference evapotranspiration (ET0) equations were compared at daily scale,based on the hourly climate data ...
APSIM e Evolution towards a new generation of agricultural systems simulation
Agricultural systems models worldwide are increasingly being used to explore options and solutions for
the food security, climate change adaptation and mitigation and carbon trading problem domains. APSIM
(Agricultural ...
Improving water productivity in the Australian Grains industry—a nationally coordinated approach
Improving the water-limited yield of dryland crops and farming systems has been an underpinning objective
of research within the Australian grains industry since the concept was defined in the 1970s. Recent slowing in ...
Stabilized Nitrogen Fertilizers to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Australian Agriculture
Loss of nitrogen (N) from applied fertilizer is a major cause of inefficiency in N fertilizer utilization. This loss of N can occur through many pathways including ammonia (NH3) volatilization, nitrate (NO3) leaching and ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
An Overview of Hybrid Water Supply Systems in the Context of Urban Water Management: Challenges and Opportunities
This paper presents a critical review of the physical impacts of decentralized
water supply systems on existing centralized water infrastructures. This paper highlights
the combination of centralized and decentralized ...
Simulation of water-limited growth of the forage shrub saltbush (Atriplex nummularia Lindl.) in a low-rainfall environment of southern Australia
Old man saltbush (Atriplex nummularia Lindl.) is a useful forage shrub for livestock in the low-rainfall areas of
the world, and particularly in Australia. In these semi-arid and arid environments, saltbush is valuable for ...
Summer-growing perennial grasses are a potential new feed source in the low rainfall environment of southern Australia
In the Mallee region of southern Australia, the dry and variable climate results in frequent summer–autumn feed
gaps, restricting the profitability of farms that combine livestock and crop enterprises. To assess the ...
