A Scarcity Of Biospheric Values In Local And Regional Reporting Of Water Issues: Media Coverage In The Floridan Aquifer Region, Sadie Hundemer, Debbie Treise, Martha Monroe
A Scarcity Of Biospheric Values In Local And Regional Reporting Of Water Issues: Media Coverage In The Floridan Aquifer Region, Sadie Hundemer, Debbie Treise, Martha Monroe
Journal of Applied Communications
The values invoked by journalists in the reporting of water issues influence public support for water policy and the assessment of water tradeoffs. This qualitative framing analysis of water coverage from six newspapers in the Floridan aquifer region from 2010 to 2018 reveals the values used to stimulate reader engagement on a range of water challenges including weather, residential behavior, agriculture, algae, industry, springs, energy, municipalities, and fecal matter. Results reveal a hierarchy of value frames that prioritizes economics and human health, thereby attending primarily to the motivations of egoistic and social-altruistic individuals. The ecosystem implications of deteriorated water conditions, …

Soil And Water Conservation: An Annotated Bibliography, Colby J. Moorberg
NPP eBooks
Soil and Water Conservation: An Annotated Bibliography highlights freely-available online resources covering various aspects of soil and water conservation, and is designed to be a resource for conservation students and practitioners. The thirteen chapters in the annotated bibliography are grouped into four sections, including History and Fundamentals, Conservation Practices, Conservation Implementation, and Careers. Types of cited resources include extension bulletins, USDA NRCS conservation practice standards, and other government reports and resources. Cited resources are generally concise, easily read, and meant for general audiences. Annotations and images are used to provide context for each resource. Many contributors made Soil and Water …
Urban Lawn Microclimates Affect Reference Evapotranspiration, Kenton W. Peterson, Dale J. Bremer, Jack D. Fry
Urban Lawn Microclimates Affect Reference Evapotranspiration, Kenton W. Peterson, Dale J. Bremer, Jack D. Fry
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Grass reference evapotranspiration (ETo) obtained from weather stations in open locations is often used to estimate irrigation requirements of turfgrass in local or regional urban lawns. However, the environments of urban lawns are often altered by surrounding buildings, trees, etc., to form various microclimates that may alter evapotranspiration (ET). Our research, which placed weather stations in urban lawns and nearby open swards of turfgrass, revealed ETowas 41% lower in residential lawn microclimates than in nearby open turfgrass swards. Less ET within urban lawns than in nearby open swards suggests using standard historical weather data to estimate …
A Statistical Model Using Reference Evapotranspiration And Weather Data To Predict The Economic Optimal Irrigation Level For Corn Production In The Texas Panhandle, W. Arden Colette, Clay Robinson, Lal Khan Almas
A Statistical Model Using Reference Evapotranspiration And Weather Data To Predict The Economic Optimal Irrigation Level For Corn Production In The Texas Panhandle, W. Arden Colette, Clay Robinson, Lal Khan Almas
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Corn yield and evapotranspiration (ET) data obtained from weighing lysimeters is accumulated from nine experiments over six years and used to estimate a response function. The quadratic response function of corn yield as a function of water use by the plants indicates that yield increases at a decreasing rate as ET increases. Extending the analysis to water application data by commercial producers in a thirteen county area in the Texas Panhandle provides a response function of yield as a function of water application to meet ET needs. The best estimate of the relationship is a quadratic function. The response function …
