Soil and Soil Water Relationships | This publication presents and discusses concepts
that are fundamental to understanding soil, water,
and plant relationships and the soil water balance.
Knowledge about soil water relationships can
inform the decision-making process in agricultural
operations or natural resource management, such as
determining what crops to plant, when to plant them,
and when various management practices should be
scheduled. Understanding these concepts is useful for
addressing both agronomic and policy issues related to
agricultural water management.Zachary M. Easton, Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist, Biological Systems Engineering, Virginia Tech

Managing Drainage From Agricultural Lands with Denitrifying Bioreactors in the Mid-Atlantic | This publication highlights recent advances in adapting denitrifying bioreactors developed in the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic region. Denitrifying bioreactors are edge-of-field management practices that harness the activity of soil bacteria to remove excess nitrogen from drainage waters. Agricultural drainage is a significant source of nutrients to the Chesapeake Bay and important to manage. Although challenges remain with respect to adapting designs to treat ditch drainage, denitrifying bioreactors hold promise to yield water quality improvements in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. |

Denitrifying Bioreactors: An Emerging Best Management Practice to Improve Water Quality | Denitrifying bioreactors (DNBRs) are an alternative best management practice (BMP) that can reduce the amount of nitrogen reaching surface waters. DNBRs function by supporting soil microorganisms that are capable of denitrification in a favorable environment. |
