Energy fluxes and evapotranspiration over irrigated maize field in an arid area with shallow groundwater

Precise estimations of energy fluxes and evapotranspiration for cropland in arid areas with shallow groundwater are necessary but limited. There is also a need to better understand the contribution of groundwater for meeting crop water consumptive use. In this study, considering the environmental conditions, such as meteorological variables, crop growth and water regimes, energy fluxes and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) in an irrigated maize...
