IRRIGATION SCIENCE

Irrigation Science presents original articles and short communications reporting the results of irrigation-related research. Coverage includes relevant contributions from the plant, soil and atmospheric sciences and analysis of field experimentation, as well as irrigation water management modeling. Special emphasis is devoted to multi-disciplinary studies dealing with the challenges of maintaining the long-term productivity of irrigated lands and increasing the efficiency of agricultural water use.Aspects of particular interest include physiology of plant growth and yield response to water status; physical and chemical aspects of water status and movement in the plant-soil-atmosphere system; salinity and alkalinity control by soil and water management; agricultural drainage, measurement and modification of crop and control of water in plant, soil and atmosphere; water requirements in irrigation practice; irrigation scheduling and ecological aspects of irrigated agriculture.

灌溉科学提供原始的文章和简短的通信报告灌溉相关的研究结果。覆盖范围包括来自植物、土壤和大气科学的相关贡献，以及田间试验分析，以及灌溉用水管理模型。特别强调多学科研究，处理维持灌溉土地长期生产力和提高农业用水效率的挑战。特别感兴趣的方面包括植物生长生理学和产量对水状况的反应;植物-土壤-大气系统水分状况和运动的物理和化学方面;通过土壤和水的管理来控制盐度和碱度;农业排水、作物测量和改良以及植物、土壤和大气中的水分控制;灌溉实践中的需水量;灌溉农业的灌溉计划和生态方面。
