Soil hydrological processes (SHP) support ecosystems, modulate the impact of climate
change on terrestrial systems and control feedback mechanisms between water, energy and …

Soil moisture (SM) is a key hydrologic state variable that is of significant importance for
numerous Earth and environmental science applications that directly impact the global …

Numerous current efforts seek to improve the representation of ecosystem ecology and
vegetation demographic processes within Earth System Models (ESM s). These …

The enormous increase of remote sensing data from airborne and space-borne platforms, as
well as ground measurements has directed the attention of scientists towards new and …

Drought is a predominant cause of low yields worldwide. There is an urgent need for more
water efficient cropping systems facing large water consumption of irrigated agriculture and …

This article introduces a Special Issue on biodiversity of Palaearctic grasslands and
provides a synthesis of the current knowledge on this topic. Four major categories of …

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 …

As an important parameter in recent and numerous environmental studies, soil moisture
(SM) influences the exchange of water and energy at the interface between the land surface …

We present a coevolutionary view of hydrologic systems, revolving around feedbacks
between environmental and social processes operating across different time scales. This …

At the watershed scale, soil moisture is the major control for rainfall–runoff response,
especially where saturation excess runoff processes dominate. From the ecological point of …
