We explore and review the value of soil moisture measurements in vadose zone hydrology
with a focus on the field and catchment scales. This review is motivated by the increasing …

Abstract The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission has utilized a set of core
validation sites as the primary methodology in assessing the soil moisture retrieval algorithm …

The characterization of the spatial–temporal variability of soil moisture is of paramount
importance in many scientific fields and operational applications. However, due to the high …

Issue Geodiversity (ie, the variation in Earth's abiotic processes and features) has strong
effects on biodiversity patterns. However, major gaps remain in our understanding of how …

Understanding soil moisture variability and its relationship with water content at various
scales is a key issue in hydrological research. In this paper we predict this relationship by …

By partitioning mass and energy fluxes, soil moisture exerts a fundamental control on basin
hydrological response. Using the design characteristics of the Biosphere 2 hillslope …

Soil moisture dynamics are affected by complex interactions among several factors.
Understanding the relative importance of these factors is still an important challenge in the …

Abstract Knowledge of soil moisture dynamics within soil profiles can improve hydrologic
process modeling. The heterogeneity of environmental factors (eg, topographic attributes …

Soil moisture (SM) spatiotemporal variability critically influences water resources,
agriculture, and climate. However, besides site‐specific studies, little is known about how …

Soil water content is a key variable for biogeochemical and atmospheric coupled processes.
Its small‐scale heterogeneity impacts the partitioning of precipitation (eg, deep percolation …
