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

Process-based hydrological models have a long history dating back to the 1960s. Criticized
by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult to use, a more nuanced view is …

The large-scale vegetation restoration project on the Loess Plateau increased the
ecosystem carbon (C) stocks and affected C budget in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The …

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 …

Integrated, process‐based numerical models in hydrology are rapidly evolving, spurred by
novel theories in mathematical physics, advances in computational methods, insights from …

The sensitivity of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to soil moisture is well established,
however, the retrieval of soil moisture from SAR is confounded by the effects of surface …

In hydrology, two somewhat competing philosophies form the basis of most process-based
models. At one endpoint of this continuum are detailed, high-resolution descriptions of small …

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 …

Soil moisture is fundamental to ecosystem sustainability in arid and semi-arid regions, and
characterizing temporal variations in soil moisture levels in response to changes in land use …

There are a growing number of large‐scale, complex hydrologic models that are capable of
simulating integrated surface and subsurface flow. Many are coupled to land‐surface energy …
