Mapping and monitoring soil spatial variability is particularly problematic for temporally and
spatially dynamic properties such as soil salinity. The tools necessary to address this classic …

Woody plant encroachment has profound impacts on the sustainable management of water
resources in water-limited ecosystems. However, our understanding of the effects of this …

Regional effects of farming on hydrology are associated mostly with irrigation. In this work,
we show how rainfed agriculture can also leave large-scale imprints. The extent and speed …

Land‐use changes through forestry and other activities alter not just carbon storage, but
biophysical properties, including albedo, surface roughness, and canopy conductance, all of …

Soil salinization is the most diffuse form of soil degradation in drylands, where it represents a
rising threat to crop production and ecosystem functioning. While aridity is thought to be the …

In the Anthropocene, watershed chemical transport is increasingly dominated by novel
combinations of elements, which are hydrologically linked together as 'chemical …

Elevated groundwater salinity is unsuitable for drinking and harmful to crop production.
Thus, it is crucial to determine groundwater salinity distribution, especially where drinking …

Soil salinization is a global phenomenon that affects large tracts of arid farmland worldwide.
It contributes to the loss of soil fertility, declining yields, and–in the most severe cases–land …

Infiltration is the process of water entering into, and routings through, the subsurface. It has a
profound impact on water flux in the Earth's Critical Zone (CZ), influencing phenomena such …

Being one of the oldest and most serious environmental problems, soil and groundwater
salinization poses critical challenges for the managing of agricultural and natural areas …
