Evapotranspiration in Agro-Ecosystems and Forestry

Evapotranspiration in Agro-Ecosystems and Forestry by Suat Irmak, Ph.D., P.E., F. AAAS, F. ASABE, F. ASCE-EWRI

Unlock the key to sustainable water management with this authoritative guide to evapotranspiration—the bridge between climate, soil, crops, and forests. Whether you manage irrigation systems, design watershed plans, conduct research, or shape policy, this book delivers clear, science-based insight into measuring, modeling, and applying evapotranspiration knowledge across agro-ecosystems and forestry landscapes.

Begin with concise explanations of fundamental concepts—reference evapotranspiration, crop coefficients, energy balance, and microclimate interactions—then move into practical methodologies: field measurement techniques, analytical and empirical models (including Penman-Monteith approaches), remote sensing applications, and data assimilation strategies. Rich examples span arid, semi-arid, temperate, and tropical regions, making the content globally relevant and regionally actionable for farmers, extension specialists, hydrologists, and forest managers.

What sets this book apart is its blend of rigorous science and practical utility. Expect clear guidance on irrigation scheduling, crop water use estimation, drought response planning, and designing adaptive strategies under climate variability. Charts, case summaries, and applied recommendations translate complex hydrometeorological processes into decision-ready information.

Ideal for professionals, graduate students, and technical libraries, this work is a must-have reference for anyone concerned with water resources, precision agriculture, and sustainable forestry. Enhance your capacity to conserve water, optimize yields, and protect ecosystems with a resource authored by a leading expert in the field.
