Figure 4: The upper panel shows precipitation, and observed and simulated irrigation for orchard S10 in mm d-1. The central panels show observed soil moisture (SM) as interquartile range between the 25th and the 75th percentile from 24 measurements, simulated SM using the standard CLM5 irrigation routine and the irrigation data stream at 5, 20, and 50 cm depths. The bottom panel shows observed interquartile range and simulations using the two irrigation approaches of soil matric potential (SMP) at 20 cm depth for orchard S10 for 2021 and 2022.
Table 4: Pearson’s r (r), root mean square error (RMSE) and percent bias (%bias) for soil moisture (SM) at 5, 20 and 50 cm depth and soil matric potential (SMP) at 20 cm depth in orchards S09 and S10 simulated using the irrigation data stream. The first number refers to 2021 and the second number to 2022. Statistics were calculated for the whole year and for the irrigation season only (21th May to 25th Sep for 2021; 15th May to 10th Oct and 14th May to 2nd Oct for S09 and S10, respectively, in 2022).
