Volume 66, Issue 4 , March 2014, Pages 549-563

https://doi.org/10.22059/jrwm.2014.50030

Abstract
  Having a comprehensive and correct understanding of grazing behaviour of livestock helps to maximize livestock products. Moreover, a good understanding of livestock behavior allows us to predict the effects of livestock on rangeland and finally we can do livestock grazing management the best possible. ...  Read More

Modification of Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) based on the best method of evapotranspiration estimation and probability distribution function

محمد قبایی سوق; Abolfazl Mosaedi

Volume 66, Issue 4 , March 2014, Pages 565-582

https://doi.org/10.22059/jrwm.2014.50031

Abstract
  Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) is based on fitting a Log-normal distribution to the ratio of precipitation to evapotranspiration (ETo) values in selected periods. In this index value of ETo were calculated based on mean temperature by Thorenth-Waite (Th) method. Th method, may underestimated ETo ...  Read More
