Green roofs have the potential to offer numerous ecosystem services; however, they are
rarely designed to achieve them. Instead, design is restricted by perceived structural and …

Vegetation is a highly dynamic component of the Earth surface and substantially alters the
water cycle. Particularly the process of oxygenic plant photosynthesis determines vegetation …

Soil moisture is connected to atmospheric moisture through direct evaporation and
vegetation transpiration. This is a complex process that is in focus of numerous hydrological …

Soil moisture (SM) is an essential parameter for crop growth and development, and temporal
and spatial variation in SM in agricultural fields varies by crop type due to corresponding …

Recently, data assimilation (DA) has garnered significant attention. Integration of DA
approaches and crop models could diminish model uncertainties and improve the precision …

The relationship between evaporative fraction (EF) and soil moisture (SM) has traditionally
been used in atmospheric and land‐surface modeling communities to determine the …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable in the water cycle and reflects the ecosystem's
feedback into the climate system. However, quantitative studies on the response of ET to …

The surface texture of materials plays a critical role in wettability, turbulence and transport
phenomena. In order to design surfaces for these applications, it is desirable to characterise …

Grasslands play a very important role in the water and carbon cycle of arid and semi‐arid
areas, where they are the main type of steppe globally. With this said, research into …

Aerodynamic resistance (hereafter ra) is a preeminent variable in evapotranspiration (ET)
modelling. The accurate quantification of ra plays a pivotal role in determining the …
