Anthropogenic climate change is decreasing seasonal snowpacks globally, with potentially
catastrophic consequences on water resources, given the long-held reliance on snowpack …

This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the effects of vegetation roots on the
soil structure and soil hydraulic properties. After a thorough review of current studies, the …

Abstract Changes in evapotranspiration (ET) affect water availability and ecosystem health.
Higher evaporative demand during drought acts to increase ET, but droughts also reduce …

Water potential directly controls the function of leaves, roots and microbes, and gradients in
water potential drive water flows throughout the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum …

Soil structure is a key attribute of soil quality and health that significantly impacts water
infiltration. Structure can be significantly altered by natural or anthropogenic drivers …

Understanding the responses of soil aggregate stability and nutrient stoichiometry to
vegetation restoration is essential for the ecosystem in the Loess Plateau, China. To explore …

Soil structure in natural systems is a product of complex interactions between biological
activity, climate and soil minerals that promote aggregation and accumulation of biopores. In …

A frequently expressed viewpoint across the Earth science community is that global soil
moisture estimates from satellite L‐band (1.4 GHz) measurements represent moisture only …

The thin layer of soil at the earth's surface supports life, storing water and nutrients for plant
uptake. These processes occur in the soil pore space, often half the soil volume, but our …

Abstract Model development in groundwater simulation and physics informed deep learning
(DL) has been advancing separately with limited integration. This study develops a general …
