Afforestation can reduce desertification and soil erosion. However, the hydrologic
implications of afforestation are not well investigated, especially in arid and semi-arid …

Water transport in the unsaturated zone is an important part of the hydrological cycle and is
the link between the atmosphere‒soil‐groundwater for material and energy transport. The …

Soil water and groundwater are important water resources for vegetation survival and
growth in arid and semiarid regions, and their contributions to water use over a whole …

Although water table recessions associated with seasonal freezing have been widely
reported, the conditions that groundwater could respond to seasonal freezing are poorly …

Vegetation plays an active role in soil water dynamics and water balance in groundwater-
soil-plant-atmosphere continuum systems. Therefore, we characterized soil water transport …

With the development of desertification in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), aeolian sand
becomes the remarkable local factor affecting the thermal state of permafrost along the …

The use of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes in estimating soil water evaporation loss
under continuous evaporation conditions is crucial for gaining insight into soil water …

Actual evaporation (E a) can be calculated as a fraction of potential evaporation (PE), which
refers to the evaporation rate if supply water is unlimited. Potential evaporation depends on …

During droughts, soil evaporation is often constrained by water vapor transport through an
air‐dry soil layer (DSL). Fick's water vapor diffusion is widely regarded as the only process …

The new, two-way coupled, distributed and transient MARMITES-MODFLOW (MM-MF)
model, coupling land surface and soil zone domains with groundwater, is presented. It …
