Effects of mulching on the surface energy balance and soil thermal regimes
The effects of a straw mulch, applied either uniformly or in strips, on the surface energy balance and soil thermal regimes are investigated using a numerical solution to the two-dimensional soil heat transfer equation. The numerical technique used is an extended version of Barakat and Clark's...
