Abstract
The assessment of land management practices according to their impact on soil water and solute balance is of great importance for crop yield potentials and sustainable development of the territory of Altai Krai (Russia). This contribution presents the results obtained from automatic weather stations, soil-hydrological measuring stations and a weighable gravitation lysimeter station established in the framework of the German—Russian KULUNDA project (2012–2016). It was shown that No-Till technology gradually formed soil conditions close to the natural background (steppe). For the first time, data regarding the amount of actual evapotranspiration (Eta) for the environmental conditions of the Kulunda dry steppe have been produced based on sophisticated lysimeter measurements.
