Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, Dew/frost - Water Balance Data for The Bushland, Texas Soybean Datasets
<p>This dataset contains water balance data for each year when soybean [<em>Glycine max</em> (L.) Merr.] was grown at the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Laboratory (CPRL), Soil and Water Management Research Unit (SWMRU), Bushland, Texas (Lat. 35.186714°, Long. -102.094189°, elevation 1170 m above MSL). Soybean [<em>Glycine max</em> (L.) Merr.] was grown on two large, precision weighing lysimeters, each in the center of a 4.44 ha square field in 1995, 2003, 2004 and 2010. Soybean was grown on four large, precision weighing lysimeters and their surrounding 4.4-ha fields in 2019. Irrigation in 1995, 2003, 2004, and 2010 was by linear move sprinkler system. Irrigation in 2019 was by subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system on the northeast (NE) and southeast (SE) weighing lysimeters an fields, while irrigation was by linear move sprinkler system on the northwest (NW) and southwest (SW) lysimeters and fields. Full irrigations were managed to replenish soil water used by the crop on a weekly or more frequent basis as determined by soil profile water content readings made with a neutron probe to 2.4-m depth in the field. Deficit irrigations were less than full - see crop calendars and irrigation data in these files for details. The weighing lysimeters were used to measure relative soil water storage to 0.05 mm accuracy at 5-minute intervals, and the 5-minute change in soil water storage was used along with precipitation and irrigation amounts to calculate crop evapotranspiration (ET), which is reported at 15-minute intervals. Because the large (3 m by 3 m surface area) weighing lysimeters are better rain gages than are tipping bucket gages, the 15-minute precipitation data are derived for each lysimeter from changes in lysimeter mass. The land slope is <0.3% and flat.<br> The water balance data consist of 15-minute and daily amounts of evapotranspiration (ET), dew/frost fall, precipitation (rain/snow), irrigation, scale counterweight adjustment, and emptying of drainage tanks, all in mm. The values are the result of a rigorous quality control process involving algorithms for detecting dew/frost accumulations, and precipitation (rain and snow). Changes in lysimeter mass due to emptying of drainage tanks, counterweight adjustment, maintenance activity, and harvest are accounted for such that ET values are minimally affected. The ET data should be considered to be the best values offered in these datasets. Even though ET data are also presented in the "lysimeter" datasets, the values herein are the result of a more rigorous quality control process. Dew and frost accumulation varies from year to year and seasonally within a year, and it is affected by lysimeter surface condition [bare soil, tillage condition, residue amount and orientation (flat or standing), etc.]. Particularly during winter and depending on humidity and cloud cover, dew and frost accumulation sometimes accounts for an appreciable percentage of total daily ET.<br> These datasets originate from research aimed at determining crop water use (ET), crop coefficients for use in ET-based irrigation scheduling based on a reference ET, crop growth, yield, harvest index, and crop water productivity as affected by irrigation method, timing, amount (full or some degree of deficit), agronomic practices, cultivar, and weather. Prior publications have focused on crop ET, crop coefficients, and crop water productivity. Crop coefficients have been used by ET networks. The data have utility for testing simulation models of crop ET, growth, and yield.</p> <p>See the README for descriptions of each data file. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: 1995 Bushland, TX, West Soybean Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, and Water Balance Data.</p> <p>File Name: 1995_W_Soybean_water_balance.xlsx</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: 2003 Bushland, TX, East Soybean Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, and Water Balance Data.</p> <p>File Name: 2003_E_Soybean_water_balance.xlsx</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: 2004 Bushland, TX, East Soybean Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, and Water Balance Data.</p> <p>File Name: 2004_E_Soybean_water_balance.xlsx</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: 2010 Bushland, TX, West Soybean Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, and Water Balance Data.</p> <p>File Name: 2010_W_Soybean_water_balance.xlsx</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: 2019 Bushland, TX, East Soybean Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, and Water Balance Data.</p> <p>File Name: 2019_E_Soybean_water_balance.xlsx</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: 2019 Bushland, TX, West Soybean Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, and Water Balance Data.</p> <p>File Name: 2019_W_Soybean_water_balance.xlsx</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: README.</p> <p>File Name: README_Soybean_Water_Balance.txt</p></li></ul><p></p>
