Abstract:The shelterbelt is an indispensable barrier to the ecological and economic development of an oasis. Soil moisture, groundwater and irrigation greatly affect the shelterbelt water consumption and development. In this study, the transpiration rate of shelterbelt trees, soil moisture and meteorological data were collected to determine the effects of soil moisture and meteorological factors on the water consumption of different shelterbelt tree species via multivariate statistical methods. The results showed that … Show more
