Irrigation enhances local warming with greater nocturnal warming effects than daytime cooling effects
To meet the growing demand for food, land is being managed to be more productive using agricultural intensification practices, such as the use of irrigation. Understanding the specific environmental impacts of irrigation is a critical part of using it as a sustainable way to provide food security. H...
