Soil water potential is a cornerstone in defining the thermodynamic state of soil water
required to quantify phenomena such as water phase change, water movement, heat …

A correct quantification of mass and energy exchange processes among Earth's land
surface, groundwater, and atmosphere requires an accurate parameterization of soil …

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 …

Water retention curves (WRCs) and hydraulic conductivity functions (HCFs) are critical soil‐
specific characteristics necessary for modeling the movement of water in soils using the …

Biochar is being used as a soil amendment to improve soil hydraulic properties. It has been
reported that biochar increases plant-available water, particularly in coarse-textured soils; …

The soil water retention curve (SWRC) or soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a
fundamental feature of unsaturated soil that simply shows the relationship between soil …

The simplified evaporation method (SEM) is a technique to determine soil hydraulic
properties, ie the water retention curve and the hydraulic conductivity curve, from …

Soil water status is one of the most important environmental factors that control microbial
activity and rate of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition. Its effect can be partitioned into …

Hydraulic properties, specifically the water holding capacity of soils, play a key role in the
ability of soils to sustain plant growth. Additions of hydrophilic polymers (superabsorbents) …

Abstract Background and Aims Stomatal regulation allows plants to promptly respond to
water stress. However, our understanding of the impact of above and belowground hydraulic …
