Green water—terrestrial precipitation, evaporation and soil moisture—is fundamental to
Earth system dynamics and is now extensively perturbed by human pressures at continental …

The experiences gathered during the past 30 years support the operational use of irrigation
scheduling based on frequent multi-spectral image data. Currently, the operational use of …

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 …

In the past several decades, field studies have shown that woody plants can access
substantial volumes of water from the pores and fractures of bedrock,–. If, like soil moisture …

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 TerraClimate, a dataset of high-spatial resolution (1/24,~ 4-km) monthly climate
and climatic water balance for global terrestrial surfaces from 1958–2015. TerraClimate …

Soil moisture and soil temperature, reflecting a synthetic climate regime, are vitally important
for climate change assessments and adaption. As historical in situ measurements of soil …

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 …

Plant rooting depth (Zr) is a key parameter in hydrological and biogeochemical models, yet
the global spatial distribution of Zr is largely unknown due to the difficulties in its direct …

The effects of land-use change on river flows have usually been explained by changes
within a river basin. However, land–atmosphere feedback such as moisture recycling can …
