The time that water takes to travel through the terrestrial hydrological cycle and the critical
zone is of great interest in Earth system sciences with broad implications for water quality …

Soil salinization refers to the accumulation of water‐soluble salts in the upper part of the soil
profile. Excessive levels of soil salinity affects crop production, soil health, and ecosystem …

In this paper, we review the state of the art of characterizing and analyzing spatio-temporal
dynamics of soil moisture content at the field scale. We discuss measurement techniques …

As an important parameter in recent and numerous environmental studies, soil moisture
(SM) influences the exchange of water and energy at the interface between the land surface …

At the watershed scale, soil moisture is the major control for rainfall–runoff response,
especially where saturation excess runoff processes dominate. From the ecological point of …

The hydrologic mechanisms underlying the climate‐soil‐vegetation dynamics and thus
controlling the most basic ecologic patterns and processes are described as one very …

We explore and review the value of soil moisture measurements in vadose zone hydrology
with a focus on the field and catchment scales. This review is motivated by the increasing …

A stochastic model for soil moisture dynamics at a point is studied in detail. Rainfall is
described as a marked Poisson process, producing a state-dependent infiltration into the …

Ecohydrology of Water-Controlled Ecosystems addresses the connections between the
hydrologic cycle and plant ecosystems, with special emphasis on arid and semi-arid …

Quadratic performance metrics such as root-mean-square error (RMSE) and time series
correlation are often used to assess the accuracy of geophysical retrievals (satellite …
