Abstract High and moderate severity wildfires should increase sediment production from unpaved roads due to the increased surface runoff upslope, road–stream connectivity decrease in downslope roughness as well erosion. Because no study has documented these effects, we surveyed road erosion features quantified a function of fire segment characteristics. The data were collected one year after Park wildfire 141 hydrologically distinct segments along 6.8 km an west Fort Collins, Colorado. Road...
The use of treated wastewater (TWW) for irrigation has gained global attention since it reduces pressure on groundwater (GW) and surface water. This study aimed to evaluate the effect TWW agronomic, photosynthetic, stomatal, nutritional characteristics barley plants. experiment with was established two bands: one band irrigated GW other TWW. evaluation performed 25, 40, 60, 90, 115 days after sowing (DAS). Results showed that increased (p < 0.01) grain yield by 54.3% forage 39.4% compared...
Understanding soil moisture behavior in semi-dry forests is essential for evaluating the impact of forest management on water availability. The objective study was to analyze based storm observations three micro-catchments (0.19, 0.20, and 0.27 ha) with similar tree densities, subject different thinning intensities a Chihuahua, Mexico. Vegetation, characteristics, precipitation, volumetric content were measured before (2018), after 0%, 40%, 80% each micro-catchment (2019). Soil low...
The understanding of the hydrological processes in transitional zones between semi-arid and temperate ecosystems is essential since these areas are particularly sensitive to changes precipitation land cover. objectives were (1) determine most critical factors generation surface runoff during one rainy season; (2) analyze effect different rainfall variables soil moisture on amount runoff. study area a semi-dry forest state Chihuahua, Mexico. Vegetation, soil, monitored three micro-catchments...
Globally, freshwater resources in semi-arid areas are heavily strained; for this reason, to take care of resource, domestic wastewater is used irrigate crops. A concern associated with practice the potential accumulation heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) soil and plants. field experiment was conducted evaluate HMs barley oats irrigated treated (TWW) compared those groundwater (GW). The content As, Cd, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn plants (root, stem, leaves, grain) were determined. all both water sources...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is important, but research on SOC in Mexican semi-arid grasslands limited. The objective of this was to estimate and develop an ecological model predict soil stocks (SCS) the northern Mexico. Sites with different plant cover were selected along Central Valleys region, samples collected at two microsites (bare beneath grass) depths (0–15 cm 15–30 cm) analysed for SOC. Plant cover, precipitation, temperature, texture elevation included as predictor variables create a...
