Two-dimensional numerical simulations of soil-water and heat flow in a rainfed soybean field under plastic mulching

Numerical simulation can help understanding water- and heat-flow systems through plastic-mulched soils. An effective simulation approach is crucial to know the role of plastic mulch in a soil ecosystem, which can save water in agriculture. A field experiment was conducted at Gifu University in a rai...
