Anthropogenic climate change pushes forest ecosystems globally beyond their limits.
Widespread events of forest die-off have been attributed to direct and indirect impacts of …

Our understanding of short‐and long‐term dynamics of spatial soil moisture patterns is
limited due to measurement constraints. Using new highly detailed data, this research aims …

Relations between the spatial patterns of soil moisture, soil depth, and transpiration and
their influence on the hillslope water balance are not well understood. When determining a …

Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently
facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures …

Microbes inhabiting deep soil layers are known to be different from their counterpart in
topsoil yet remain under investigation in terms of their structure, function, and how their …

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 …

Spatial and temporal variability of throughfall beneath forests are potentially important
controls on soil processes, watershed hydrology, and biogeochemistry. We used a set of 94 …

In a changing climate extreme weather events including convective storm rainfalls are
expected to generate an increasing number of floods threatening small catchments. To …

Increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition could profoundly impact community structure
and ecosystem functions in forests. However, conventional experiments with understory …

In recent years, wireless sensor network (WSN) technology has emerged as an important
technique for wireless sensing of soil moisture from the field to the catchment scale. This …
