Irrigation zones located in the lower reaches of Yellow River is a vital food security base in China. Currently, this area is facing the problem of rapid decline of groundwater level due to serious water shortage and insufficient water resources allocation. Therefore, there are many unknown and uncertain impacts on the future agriculture and ecological environment, and it is the current hotspot of agroecosystem research. However, under the dynamic scenarios, for innovatively carrying out the studies on large groundwater table from surface, and conducting the critical process researches such as sectional structure of farmland soil, crop root growth dynamics, interaction …
