Soil's resistance to erosion or its susceptibility to resist detachment is a key parameter in the
majority of soil erosion and sediment models. Although soil resistance is a function of both …

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable of the Earth system. Understanding its
spatiotemporal dynamics is essential for predicting weather patterns and climate variability …

Surface soil moisture has a direct impact on food security, human health and ecosystem
function. It also plays a key role in the climate system, and the development and persistence …

Ecohydrological systems may be characterized as nonlinear, complex, open dissipative
systems. Such systems consist of many coupled processes, and the couplings change …

The onset of moist convection over land is investigated using a conceptual approach with a
slab boundary layer model. The authors determine the essential factors for the onset of …

Loss terms in the land water budget (including drainage, runoff, and evapotranspiration) are
encoded in the shape of soil moisture “drydowns”: the soil moisture time series directly …

It is of primary interest to determine the extent that natural processes are linked to
understand natural system dynamics. There is growing interest in investigating the coupling …

Optimization theories explain a variety of forms and functions in plants. At the leaf scale, it is
often hypothesized that carbon gain is maximized, thus providing a quantifiable objective for …

The net ecosystem exchange of CO 2 (NEE) varies at time scales from seconds to years and
longer via the response of its components, gross ecosystem productivity (GEP) and …

Many rivers and streams are ungauged or poorly gauged and predicting streamflow in such
watersheds is challenging. Although streamflow signals result from processes with different …
