The Bowen ratio

/in /by

What is “Bowen ratio”? Include a small chart identifying the Bowen ratio of different land surfaces (water, ice, tropical forest, grassland, crops, desert, tundra). Imagine that a site is covered in crops. Half the site is watered daily. The other half is left to dry out. What happens to the Bowen ratio of the crops that are watered daily relative to the ratio when they are left to dry?
