Soil moisture is an essential climate variable of the Earth system. Understanding its
spatiotemporal dynamics is essential for predicting weather patterns and climate variability …

Southern Madagascar experienced a prolonged drought over the last five years, but whether
these conditions are a manifestation of global climate change has been unclear. Here, we …

Plant water uptake from the soil is a crucial element of the global hydrological cycle and
essential for vegetation drought resilience. Yet, knowledge of how the distribution of water …

Although drought is known to negatively impact grassland functioning, the timing and
magnitude of these impacts within a growing season remain unresolved. Previous small …

Wildfire activity and the hydrological cycle are strongly interlinked. While it is well known that
wildfire occurrence and intensity are controlled by water availability, less is known about the …

Persistent deficits in meteorological, hydrological and ecological variables define different
types of drought that are often linked together in a cascade. The drought cascade is an …

Abstract Study region The Henares River Basin, central part of Spain Study focus An
assessment of SWAT soil moisture in a basin under Mediterranean conditions was carried …

A growing literature argues that ecosystem-scale evapotranspiration is more sensitive to
drying of the atmosphere because of stomatal regulation by plants than to reductions in …

Soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable, governing land‐atmosphere interactions,
runoff generation, and vegetation growth and productivity. Timely forecasts of SM spatial …

The analysis of land-atmosphere water and energy interactions requires reliable
representation of soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) coupling strength (ρ) …
