Estimating Deep Drainage Using Deep Soil Moisture Data under Young Irrigated Cropland in a Desert-Oasis Ecotone, Northwest China

Deep drainage reduces agricultural water productivity under cropland recently converted from native desert soils (i.e., young cropland) and increases the risks of nutrient and pesticide leaching into groundwater in the desert-oasis ecotone. However, the deep drainage rates under young cropland in th...
