Field Sites for Runoff, Sediment and P-Loss Measurements

1. Field Sites for Runoff, Sediment and P-Loss Measurements Most of our current farm-field sites are on Discovery Farms in Wisconsin Bragger – corn, alfalfa Knigge - corn and buffer Koepke - Alfalfa Opitz – corn and buffer Pioneer Farms (Platteville) Arlington – corn

11. PALMS uses equations to simulate the physical processes involved in the transport of water, heat, and mass within the atmosphere, canopy, and soil system. PALMS also considers how tillage type and timing affects the transport of water, heat and mass. Tillage roughness and direction affects the amount water stored in puddles, the magnitude of infiltration, the amount of runoff, and the depth of ponding. Tillage also affects crusting of the soil, which in turn affects runoff, infiltration, and ponding.PALMS uses equations to simulate the physical processes involved in the transport of water, heat, and mass within the atmosphere, canopy, and soil system.
