Wiggans, C.C. (1964) Depletion of subsoil moisture by apple trees and other woody species (Research Bulletin: Bulletin of the Agricultural Experiment Station of Nebraska No. 216)
Abstract
This project began in 1934 and ended in 1955. The work of Kiesselbach, Russel and Anderson indicated that depleted subsoil moisture might be the reason for the loss of many orchards and the injurious effects noted on native woody forest species. Most of the work in apple orchards was done at the University Fruit Farm at Union, Nebraska. Samples were also secured from commercial plantings of apples and other woody species in areas ranging from Rulo, near the Kansas-Nebraska border, to Florence, just north of Omaha, to Lincoln and several points in central Nebraska.
