Water stable isotopes (18O and 2H) are widely used as ideal tracers to track water through
the soil and to separate evaporation from transpiration. Due to the technical developments in …

Assessing root sources of three uncertainties–parameterization of soil hydraulic
characteristics, boundary conditions, and estimation of source/sink terms–is a significant …

Abstract Background and Aims Stomatal closure allows plants to promptly respond to water
shortage. Although the coordination between stomatal regulation, leaf and xylem hydraulics …

Enhancement of plant drought stress tolerance by plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria
(PGPR) has been increasingly documented in the literature. However, most studies to date …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) alter plant water relations and contribute to soil structure.
Although soil hydraulic properties depend on soil structure and may limit plant water uptake …

More frequent and longer drought periods are predicted threatening agricultural yield. The
capacity of soils to hold water is a highly important factor controlling drought stress intensity …

Core Ideas Plant mucilage and bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) prevent
the breakup of the soil liquid phase. Formation of continuous structures buffers soil hydraulic …

The fundamental question as to what triggers stomatal closure during soil drying remains
contentious. Thus, we urgently need to improve our understanding of stomatal response to …

Site-specific soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) are critical for determining irrigation thresholds
and adopting the best irrigation practices. In this study, we optimized two single-layer SHPs …

Previous studies do not consider the coupled influence of temperature and plant roots on
soil hydrological response and slope stability. This study aims to investigate the suction …
