Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly proposed to address deficiencies across water
systems, which currently leave about 25% of the global population without clean water …

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 …

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 …

Soil moisture (SM) is essential for sustaining services from Earth's critical zone, a thin-living
skin spanning from the canopy to groundwater. In the Anthropocene epoch, intensive …

Groundwater resources are increasingly important as the main supply of fresh water for
household, industrial, and agricultural activities. However, overuse and depletion of these …

The impact of more extreme climate conditions under global warming on soil organic carbon
(SOC) dynamics remains unquantified. Here we estimate the response of SOC to climate …

As microplastics (MPs) are organic polymers with a carbon-based framework, they may
affect nutrient cycling. Information regarding how MPs influence N, P, and C cycling and the …

Soil moisture (SM) plays a significant role in water, energy, and carbon cycles, and is a key
variable related to multiple sustainable development goals. The frequent occurrence of …

The water table and its dynamics are one of the key variables that control peatland
greenhouse gas exchange. Here, we tested the applicability of the Optical TRApezoid Model …

Data assimilation plays a dual role in advancing the “scientific” understanding and serving
as an “engineering tool” for the Earth system sciences. Land data assimilation (LDA) has …
