What does a lysimeter measure?
Think of what occurs when water evaporates from the soil and plants.
Name one type of lysimeter.
Consider how different lysimeters could work.
What does a lysimeter directly measure?
Think about what interactions are being measured.
True or False: Lysimeters can only be used in research settings.
Consider the application of technology in everyday farming.
Design a research project that utilizes lysimeters to study the impact of irrigation frequency on crop yield. Include methods of data collection and analysis.
Consider how varying water input might affect evapotranspiration and yield.
Calculate the evapotranspiration from a lysimeter if it recorded a 50 mm water loss over 30 days with a crop cover coefficient of 0.8. What adjustments would you recommend for irrigation?
Think about how crop cover affects the actual water needs.
