Precipitation amounts, and frequencies are major regulators of soil heat-load profiles as the interval between rainfall events allows for increased heat storage during cloudless days. The extreme drought of 2011 and the subsequent Flash Drought that occurred in summer, 2012, developed in part due to soil temperature dynamics across the landscape of the Southern High Plains. For both agroecosystems and natural landscapes within the South-Central Region, soil temperature has a major role in determining the success of annual cropping systems, the ability of perennial plants to either establish or maintain themselves and the ability of the soil bacteria and fungi to carry out important decomposition and nutrient cycling,...
