Temporal stability (TS) of soil water content (SWC) has been observed throughout a wide
range of spatial and temporal scales. Yet, the evidence with respect to the controlling factors …

In this paper, we review the state of the art of characterizing and analyzing spatio-temporal
dynamics of soil moisture content at the field scale. We discuss measurement techniques …

This study investigates the role of soil moisture on the threshold runoff response in a small
headwater catchment in the Italian Alps that is characterised by steep hillslopes and a …

The role and the importance of soil moisture for meteorological, agricultural and hydrological
applications is widely known. Remote sensing offers the unique capability to monitor soil …

Our understanding of short‐and long‐term dynamics of spatial soil moisture patterns is
limited due to measurement constraints. Using new highly detailed data, this research aims …

Redistribution of precipitation water by plant canopies increases the spatial variation of net
precipitation at the surface, affecting soil moisture patterns, localized preferential flow, and …

The amount and patterning of precipitation beneath vegetation is determined by throughfall
and stemflow. Throughfall is the portion of precipitation that falls through, or drips from, the …

Soil moisture refers to the water present in the uppermost part of a field soil and is a state
variable controlling a wide array of ecological, hydrological, geotechnical, and …

This paper investigates the temporal stability of near-surface soil moisture at various depths
at the hillslope scale. Detailed soil water content data were acquired at 0–6cm, 0–12cm and …

Soil moisture dynamics are affected by complex interactions among several factors.
Understanding the relative importance of these factors is still an important challenge in the …
