Describe a soil-water budge for a Northern Hemisphere middle latitude climate with its greatest precipitation in the summer
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The precipitation increases into the summer, but evapotranspiration typically increases faster. At first, the soil moisture is used and then plants will wilt later in the summer as there is a lack of usable soil moisture. As fall comes the soil moisture recharges because the precipitation comes faster than evapotranspiration can remove the moisture. Eventually, there will be a surplus.
