“…Gan et al [17] reported that crop production and water use efficiency (WUE) are significantly enhanced by plastic film mulch because the film improves soil water storage and promotes more uniform distribution of water in the soil. Thus, crops could grow under appropriate soil hydrothermal conditions-as heat transport always accompanies water flow-and modified soil temperature contributes to the decomposition of fertilizer and accumulation of organic materials [18][19][20].…”

Soil hydrothermal condition is one of the most important factors affecting crop growth in arid regions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mulching and tillage on moisture and temperature variations in soil under drip irrigation in the arid Hetao Irrigation District, northwest China. Four treatments were included: (1) alternating ridges (40 cm wide and 20 cm high) and furrows (40 cm wide) with plots fully mulched with plastic film (RFM); (2) alternating ridges (40 cm wide and 20 cm high) and furrows (40 cm wide) with partial film mulch (only the plant rows mulched) (RPM); (3) flat tillage with plots fully mulched with plastic film (FFM); and (4) flat tillage with partial film mulch (only the plant rows mulched) (FPM). The ridge tillage and plastic film increased soil temperature and significantly conserved soil water, and thus increased the maize yield and water use efficiency (WUE). The RFM treatment had a greater effect than the RPM, FFM, and FPM treatments on the soil moisture and water storage over 0-70 cm in depth during the entire growing period in 2014 and 2015, indicating that full transparent plastic film mulch increased soil water status and promoted deep water percolation, and ridge tillage further enhanced water redistribution to deep soils. Furthermore, RFM proportionally increased soil temperature by 0.36 • C, 1.49 • C, and 1.27 • C above the temperatures under RPM, FPM, and FFM, respectively, in 2014 and by 1.19 • C, 1.62 • C, and 0.35 • C, respectively, in 2015. During the drought year of 2014, tillage influenced temperature more than mulching; however, mulching played a more important role in preserving thermal conditions than tillage during the humid year of 2015. Consequently, RFM increased the maize yield and WUE significantly. We conclude that a combined system of full plastic film mulch and ridge tillage creates beneficial soil hydrothermal conditions under drip irrigation and thus promotes the growth and performance of field crops.

“…Values reported in literature for the saturated water content (s) of base and bedding layers of PPs range between 20-45 vol.% (Brunetti et al, 2016;Illgen et al, 2007;Kodešová et al, 2014). As it is one of the main functions of PPs to drain infiltrating water rapidly to the subsurface, we expect  to recede fast after ending infiltration and to hardly ever reach s.…”

“…5 s-values of 30% and 20% for the bedding and the base layer respectively (single porosity model). Multistep outflow experiments were performed by Kodešová et al (2014) leading to s-values of 42% and 43% for the bedding and base layer respectively. As bedding and base layers are technical substrates introduced during the construction of PPs, we assume the derived values for s and fc to be representative also for other PPs.…”

Abstract. Knowledge on water and energy fluxes is a key for urban planning and design. Nevertheless, hydrological data for urban environments is sparse and as a result, many processes are still poorly understood and thus inadequately represented within models. We contribute to reduce this shortcoming by providing a dataset, which includes time series of soil moisture and soil temperature measured underneath 18 different permeable pavements (PPs) and 4 urban greenspaces located within the city of Freiburg (Germany). Time series were recorded with a high temporal resolution of 10 min with a total of 65 individual soil moisture sensors and cover a measuring period of 2 entire years (Nov. 2016 – Oct. 2018). The recorded time series contain valuable information on the soil hydrological behavior and demonstrate the effect of surface properties and surrounding urban structures on soil temperatures. In addition, we performed double-ring infiltration experiments, which in combination with the soil moisture measurements yielded soil hydrological parameters for the PPs including porosity, field capacity and infiltration capacity. We present this unique dataset, which is a valuable source of information for studying urban water and energy cycles. We encourage its usage in various ways e.g. for model calibration and validation purposes, to study thermal regimes of cities and to derive urban water and energy fluxes. The dataset is freely available at the FreiDok plus data repository at https://freidok.uni-freiburg.de/data/149321 and https://doi.org/10.6094/UNIFR/149321 (Schaffitel et al., 2019).

Jelínková V., Dohnal M., Picek T. (2015): A green roof segment for monitoring the hydrological and thermal behaviour of anthropogenic soil systems. Soil & Water Res., 10: 262-270.Green roofs and similar anthropogenic soil-plant systems in conurbations have a high relevance for society, especially in a changing climate. Understanding the hydrological performance of green roof substrates is a significant task in the framework of sustainable urban planning and water/energy management in urban areas. Potential retention and detention capabilities of anthropogenic, light weight, highly permeable soil systems and their continued performance over time are of major importance. A green roof test segment was designed to investigate the benefits of such anthropogenic systems. This adaptable low-cost system allows for long-term monitoring of preferred characteristics. Temperature and water balance measurements complemented with meteorological observations and studies of physical properties of substrates provide a basis for a detailed analysis of thermal and hydrological regime in green roof systems. The very first results obtained from the test segment have confirmed the green roof systems benefits. Reduced temperature fluctuations as well as rainfall runoff were attained compared to the traditional roof systems. Depending on numerous factors including the substrate material or vegetation cover, in the green roof tested the temperature amplitude for a selected period of nonfreezing days (with minimum ambient air temperature of 2.8°C) was suppressed by about 6.5°C on average. The ability to completely prevent (light rainfall events) or reduce and delay (medium and heavy rainfall events) the peak runoff was demonstrated, too.
