Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic
conditions in space and over time, which are reflected in spatial patterns of species …

Theory and evidence indicate that trees and other vegetation influence the atmospheric
water-cycle in various ways. These influences are more important, more complex, and more …

Water availability plays a critical role in sha** terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in low-
and mid-latitude regions. The sensitivity of vegetation growth to precipitation strongly …

Most soil hydraulic information used in Earth System Models (ESMs) is derived from pedo-
transfer functions that use easy-to-measure soil attributes to estimate hydraulic parameters …

Desertification is a change in soil properties, vegetation or climate, which results in a
persistent loss of ecosystem services that are fundamental to sustaining life. Desertification …

Worldwide, shallow slope failure is a problem causing environmental and economic
damage. Vegetation plays an important role for the stabilization of slopes. Accordingly …

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 …

Revegetation and check dam construction are two widely applied soil erosion control
measures on the Loess Plateau of China. They play important roles in sediment yield …

Soils form the skin of the Earth's surface, regulating water and biogeochemical cycles and
generating production of food, timber, and textiles around the world. Changes in soil and its …

Aims The field of ecohydrology is providing new theoretical frameworks and methodological
approaches for understanding the complex interactions and feedbacks between vegetation …
