Abstract/Contents: | "Four foot deep profile soil moisture sensors (each with 5 measurement segments) were installed in 8 unique drip-irrigated Xeriscape Gardens at Northern Water in August 2011. Plant groupings (no turf) represented a spectrum of plant sizes and types in the Xeriscape Gardens. Soil moisture was monitored weekly until November 2011, when monitoring intervals were lengthened to 2-3 weeks through the winter. Plant condition was routinely observed during the growing season. Bi-weekly readings were resumed at the beginning of April 2012 and weekly readings resumed in May 2012. A soil water balance was calculated for irrigation and precipitation-free time periods and compared to ETrs and ETos reference evapotranspiration calculated from an adjacent weather station to derive landscape coefficients. Soil moisture drawdown at each of the 5 soil depth intervals was observed for each plant grouping, with inference for rooting depths and soil water extraction zones." |
