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 …

The sensitivity of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to soil moisture is well established,
however, the retrieval of soil moisture from SAR is confounded by the effects of surface …

Dryland ecosystems may be especially vulnerable to expected 21st century increases in
temperature and aridity because they are tightly controlled by moisture availability. However …

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 …

The soil moisture is a quantity of paramount importance in the study of hydrologic
phenomena and soil‐atmosphere interaction. Because of its high spatial and temporal …

Our understanding of short‐and long‐term dynamics of spatial soil moisture patterns is
limited due to measurement constraints. Using new highly detailed data, this research aims …

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 …

Soil moisture is the foundation of ecosystem sustainability in arid and semi-arid regions, and
the spatial–temporal details of soil moisture dynamics of afforested areas can benefit for …

Soil moisture is a key variable in hydrology, meteorology and agriculture. It is influenced by
many factors, such as topography, soil properties, vegetation type, management, and …

In arid and semiarid regions that have deep soils, plant root systems can extract soil water to
a depth of 20m or more. An accurate evaluation of soil water conditions in such regions is …
