Agriculture 2 Checking Evaporation in Wyoming Study
In Wyoming experiments soil cover reduced evaporation significantly. Using twenty-five inch cylinders and a shallow water table, researchers stirred soil layers to depths of two four and six inches. Stirring deeper and more often markedly increased water retention, showing cultivation's value in dry years. Bulleting 45 Arizona notes legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen via soil bacteria, expanding soil fertility.
