Modeling Shallow Water Tables and Impacts on Productivity and Sustainability
SOTIRIOS ARCHONTOULIS
Associate Professor of Integrated Cropping Systems, Department of Agronomy, Iowa State University, Ames
Soil moisture affects everything in the soil-plant system. Precipitation, irrigation, and shallow water tables have a strong influence on soil moisture, but the effect of water table has been overlooked despite its importance on crop yields and yield stability from year to year. Archontoulis will present new results on modeling shallow water tables across the U.S. Corn Belt and impacts on productivity and sustainability.
Note: This presentation will not be recorded.
