Evapotranspiration and Quantitative Partitioning of Spring Maize with Drip Irrigation under Mulch in an Arid Region of Northwestern China

To examine evapotranspiration (ET<sub>c</sub>), soil evaporation (E<sub>s</sub>), and transpiration (T<sub>r</sub>), and partitioning of ET<sub>c</sub>, a two-year field experiment was carried out in a maize field with drip irrigation under mulch in an...
