Electromagnetic induction (EMI) has been used to characterize the spatial variability of soil
properties since the late 1970s. Initially used to assess soil salinity, the use of EMI in soil …

The amount of surface soil moisture (SSM) is a crucial ecohydrological natural resource that
regulates important land surface processes. It affects critical land–atmospheric phenomena …

In this paper, we review the state of the art of characterizing and analyzing spatio-temporal
dynamics of soil moisture content at the field scale. We discuss measurement techniques …

Abstract China's Loess Plateau is the largest loess deposit in the world in terms of both
depth and area. Water storage in soils of the Plateau has direct impacts on food security …

Globally, the irrigation of crops is the largest consumptive user of fresh water. Water scarcity
is increasing worldwide, resulting in tighter regulation of its use for agriculture. This …

Soil moisture is one of the most important parameters controlling various critical zone
processes including energy balance and nutrient cycling. However, hillslope soil moisture …

Soil moisture is an important state variable in the terrestrial system because it controls the
exchange of water and energy between the land surface and the atmosphere. In this study …

Soil moisture content (SMC) prediction can contribute to diverse geo-science engineering
applications such as plantation, crops production, and several irrigation activities. Although …

Water use efficiency (WUE) quantifies the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss. A
deep understanding of its relationships with the controlling factors is essential for predicting …

Hydrogeophysics is a rapidly evolving discipline emerging from geophysical methods.
Geophysical methods are nowadays able to illustrate not only the fabric and the structure of …
