Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a scenario where a weighing lysimeter recorded an initial weight of 100 kg. Over the growing season, the weight decreased to 80 kg. Calculate the total evapotranspiration during this period.
💡 Hint: Focus on the change in weight to determine water loss.
Design a comparative study to evaluate the output of weighing vs. non-weighing lysimeters. Detail your method and how you would statistically analyze the results.
💡 Hint: Consider how to control other variables affecting evapotranspiration.
