“…Higher water tables can also inhibit the vegetation growth and lead to reduced evapotranspiration if the vegetation is not adapted to wet site conditions. This is typical for agricultural species, as Soylu, Kucharik, and Loheide (2014) showed for maize or de Vos et al (2006) for grass. A model study by Grimaldi, Orellana, and Daly (2015) emphasized that different plants with different root depths have various effects on evapotranspiration, create different drops in the water table and groundwater depletion, which is additionally affected by varying soil types.…”

“…The idea is to provide a buffer for the decrease in water levels in spring and early summer. Yet from the farmers' point of view, this measure increases the risk of yield losses and low forage quality of the growing grass due to increasing periods with excessive soil moisture (de Vos, van Bakel, Hoving, & Conijn, 2006;de Vos et al, 2010). Further, it has been claimed that water consumption might rise.…”

The management of shallow water table sites is often the subject of discussion between different interest groups, the most controversial topic being the different target groundwater levels. A good level of knowledge about the effects of the different water levels on the water budget components is a precondition for the development of compromises in well‐balanced water resource management. We used groundwater lysimeters to investigate the impact of different water level regimes on the water balance. The lysimeters were installed directly within a typical shallow water table site and had a specially designed system to control the lower boundary condition. This enabled us to simulate different management options in a realistic way. Our results show increasing evapotranspiration with higher water levels but only if the vegetation is adapted to these conditions. Adaptation may take place within a few years of higher water levels. High water levels in spring are linked to increased water storage. This can help to compensate for the higher evapotranspiration for some weeks but not for the entire season. The meteorological conditions have a large short‐term impact on the water budget, which is difficult to compensate for using long‐term water management strategies or slow‐responding vegetation development. Our results underline the complex ecohydrological dependencies in such site conditions and could be an important basis for the development or improvement of ecohydrological models.

“…2) uses the ADG and AHG simulated by the GIS-model for water levels and soil subsidence, and the so-called HELP-tables, to calculate agricultural crop yield reductions. The HELP-tables define relationships between ADG, AHG and crop yields at the field-scale for a range of the most common soil profiles in The Netherlands, with a distinction between crop yield reductions due to wet and dry conditions (de Vos et al, 2006). When crop yield reduction exceeds a certain threshold, we assumed dairy farming to be less profitable than the production of biomass crops, prompting farmers to change the land use.…”

“…( 2008), and WOFOST, could estimate crop transpiration with acceptable accuracy. Grass yields were also examined in this study based on a previous link between SWAP and the BedrijfsBegrotings Programma Rundvee (BBPR)/Farm Budgeting Programme for Cattle (Schils et al, 2007, Waterpas;De Vos et al, 2006). In doing so, comparisons were made with measured yields.…”

The mission of WOT Natuur & Milieu is to carry out statutory research tasks on issues relating to nature and the environment. These tasks are implemented in order to support the Dutch Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, who is responsible for these issues. We provide data about agri-environment, biodiversity and soil information to compile reports as part of national and international obligations, and we work on products of the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, such as the Assessment of the Human Environment reports. Disclaimer WOt-publicatiesThe 'WOt-technical reports' series presents the findings of research projects implemented for OT Natuur & Milieu by various centres of expertise. This report/publication presents the findings of a research project commissioned by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. PBL is an autonomous research institute in the fields of the environment, nature and spatial planning, as is safeguarded in the Protocol for the Policy Assessment Agencies (Aanwijzingen voor de Planbureaus), Staatscourant (government gazette) 3200, 21 February 2012. This document contributes to the body of knowledge which will be incorporated in more policy-oriented publications such as the National Nature Outlook and the Assessment of the Human Environment reports, and thematic assessments.The research was funded by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV).
