Soil moisture (SM) is a key hydrologic state variable that is of significant importance for
numerous Earth and environmental science applications that directly impact the global …

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 …

Technological and methodological progress is essential to improve our understanding of
fundamental processes in natural and engineering sciences. In this paper, we will address …

The knowledge of the near-surface soil moisture spatio-temporal pattern is an important
issue for hydrological and climatic studies. Because of its high spatial and temporal …

This paper investigates the temporal stability of near-surface soil moisture at various depths
at the hillslope scale. Detailed soil water content data were acquired at 0–6cm, 0–12cm and …

The recognition of temporally stable locations with respect to soil water content is of
importance for soil water management decisions, especially in slo** land of watersheds …

Temporal stability (TS) of soil water content (SWC) has been observed throughout a wide
range of spatial and temporal scales. Yet, the evidence with respect to the controlling factors …

Hydropedologic approaches utilize a strategy of “map first, then design” and “direction first,
then velocity” in enhancing the understanding of complex landscape processes. This is …

The effect of heat and drought on stomatal behaviour of 2–4-week-old legumes, bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and red clover (Trifolium pratense), was investigated. Drought stress …

In situ soil moisture measurements play a key role for a variety of large‐scale applications. A
deep understanding of their quality, especially in terms of spatial representativeness, is …
