Groundwater is by far the largest unfrozen freshwater resource on the planet. It plays a
critical role as the bottom of the hydrologic cycle, redistributing water in the subsurface and …

Population growth, economic development, and dietary changes have drastically increased
the demand for food and water. The resulting expansion of irrigated agriculture into semi …

The rooting-zone water-storage capacity—the amount of water accessible to plants—
controls the sensitivity of land–atmosphere exchange of water and carbon during dry …

Abstract The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth
System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems. In this …

Groundwater overdraft gives rise to multiple adverse impacts including land subsidence and
permanent groundwater storage loss. Existing methods are unable to characterize …

Knowledge of spatiotemporal distribution and likelihood of (re) occurrence of salt-affected
soils is crucial to our understanding of land degradation and for planning effective …

Silicate weathering as an important negative feedback can regulate the Earth's climate over
time, but much debate concerns its response strength to each climatic factor and its …

Safe drinking water access is a human right, but data on safely managed drinking water
services (SMDWS) is lacking for more than half of the global population. We estimate …

Abstract Earth System Models (ESMs) are essential tools for understanding and predicting
global change, but they cannot explicitly resolve hillslope‐scale terrain structures that …

We present a new data set of attributes for 671 catchments in the contiguous United States
(CONUS) minimally impacted by human activities. This complements the daily time series of …
