protected from rapid loss by evaporation. The portion of rainwater that makes
it into these deeper soil profiles recharges the soil moisture which feeds
plants and other soil processes. Using multi-year soil moisture measurement
data from large weighing lysimeters (located in Boulder City, Nevada), my
research examines how to accurately estimate the amount of soil moisture
recharge from rain events using potential evapotranspiration calculations that
