Soil moisture is a key variable of the climate system. It constrains plant transpiration and
photosynthesis in several regions of the world, with consequent impacts on the water …

The connection between forests and water resources is well established, but the
relationships among controlling factors are only partly understood. Concern over the effects …

Desertification is a change in soil properties, vegetation or climate, which results in a
persistent loss of ecosystem services that are fundamental to sustaining life. Desertification …

In situ measurements of soil moisture are invaluable for calibrating and validating land
surface models and satellite-based soil moisture retrievals. In addition, long-term time series …

Land surface properties, such as vegetation cover and soil moisture, influence the
partitioning of radiative energy between latent and sensible heat fluxes in daytime hours …

This paper presents a hypothesis regarding the fundamental role of soil moisture conditions
in land‐atmosphere interactions. We propose that wet soil moisture conditions over any …

Measurements of soil moisture, both its global distribution and temporal variations, are
required to study the water and carbon cycles. A global network of in situ soil moisture …

The Second Phase of the Global Land–Atmosphere Coupling Experiment: Soil Moisture
