The analysis of changes of water stores in clay soil on the background of weather conditions in Puczniew area

This paper examines the changes in stocks of water in clay soils against precipitation and changes in the groundwater table. The study was conducted during the summer period (May-September) in 2001 and 2002. According to the Kaczorowska`s criteria (1962) the year 2001 was very wet, and the 2002 - average. In 2001, ground water table was at a depth of 0 to 190 cm below ground surface level, and in 2002, from 50 cm to 150 cm below the surface. Water storages in the root zone (0-35 cm) developed in 2001 at the level of 100 to 125 mm, in 2002, from 88 mm to 122 mm. ...

Comparison of water needs of true millet in the region of Bydgoszcz and Wrocław

The objective of the study was the comparison of optimal precipitation and deficits of atmospheric precipitation in relation to millet cultivated in the region of Bydgoszcz and Wrocław in the period 1975-2014. In the region of Wrocław water needs in millet cultivation were larger than in the region of Bydgoszcz. In the growing season (from May to August) they amounted to 253 mm and 242 mm respectively. July was the month when the largest water needs were observed - 74 and 72 mm respectively. It was also discovered that in the region of Wrocław the optimal amount of precipitation in the millet growing season (from May to August) systematically increased in subsequent decades, from 234 mm in the period 1975-1984 to 266 mm in the period 2005-2014. The correlation and regression analysis showed that the increasing trend of changes of that index in time was significant. Monthly deficits of precipitation in the millet growing season - both maximum and average - were in each case larger in the region of Bydgoszcz. The largest maximum and average insufficiencies of precipitation occurred in July. The frequency of occurrence of years with insufficient precipitation was also larger in each month in the region ...

ESTIMATION OF PLANT WATER REQUIREMENTS DURING SEQUENCES OF DAYS WITHOUT PRECIPITATION IN 2011-2015

This paper presents data on daily precipitation totals from six meteorological stations and the climatic water balance for the stations located throughout Poland in 2011-2015. The following sequences of days without precipitation were distinguished: from 11 to 15 days, from 16 to 20 days, and of more than 20 days. The number of precipitation-free sequences during the growing season in 2011-2015 was highly variable. Over the studied period, there were from 1.0 rainless sequence in Wtelno to 2.4 such sequences in Gołębiów per one growing season. The most frequently occurring were sequences of 11-15 days, while those of 16-20 days were less frequent. In the years under analysis, all of the different sequences occurred most frequently in July, and the least frequently in April. The highest numbers of sequences without precipitation were recorded in the south-east of Poland (Zakalniki, Gołębiów). ...
