Effective thermal conductivity of soils (λ eff) is a critical parameter for agriculture,
environment science, and engineering. Functions to estimate λ eff from readily available soil …

The ratio of carbon assimilation to water evapotranspiration (ET) of an ecosystem, referred to
as ecosystem water use efficiency (WUEeco), is widely expected to increase because of the …

Land-surface models (LSMs) are increasingly called upon to represent not only the
exchanges of energy, water and momentum across the land–atmosphere interface (their …

Current state‐of‐the‐art models typically applied at continental to global scales (hereafter
called macroscale) tend to use a priori parameters, resulting in suboptimal streamflow (Q) …

Inland water ecosystems dynamically process, transport, and sequester carbon. However,
the transport of carbon through aquatic environments has not been quantitatively integrated …

Numerous previous studies have constructed models to estimate base flow characteristics
from climatic and physiographic characteristics of catchments and applied these to …

Streamflow forecasting plays a critical role in nearly all aspects of water resources planning
and management. In this work, Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), an effective kernel …

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 …

Climate models have evolved into Earth system models with representation of the physics,
chemistry, and biology of terrestrial ecosystems. This companion book to Gordon Bonan's …

Understanding the role of climate extremes and their impact on the carbon (C) cycle is
increasingly a focus of Earth system science. Climate extremes such as droughts, heat …
