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

Modeling of the land surface water‐, energy‐, and carbon balance provides insight into the
behavior of the Earth System, under current and future conditions. Currently, there exists a …

Groundwater recharge is a key component of the hydrological cycle but it is a complex
process difficult to observe. Direct observations are essential to improve our understanding …

Ecohydrological processes in water-limited ecosystems are sensitive to deep soil water
(DSW), but it remains unclear on how and to what extent deep soil desiccation (DSD) affects …

China's rapid population growth has inevitably led to a need for cropland expansion to meet
food security challenges. In arid regions such an expansion is restricted by limited water …

Closure of the soil water balance is fundamental to ecohydrology. But closing the soil water
balance with hydrometric information offers no insight into the age distribution of water …

Diversifying annual crop rotations is postulated to promote soil ecosystem services through
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, control of soil evaporation, moderation of soil freeze …

Weighable lysimeters were used to study the relation between soil water content (SWC) and
the actual evapotranspiration (ETa) of grassland under two different climate regimes of …

Crop model intercomparison studies have mostly focused on the assessment of predictive
capabilities for crop development using weather and basic soil data from the same location …

Optical trapezoid model (OPTRAM) as a method has been proposed to retrieve soil moisture
from remote sensing data. It is based on the assumption that a trapezoidal shape would be …
