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 …

An understanding of the transport and survival of microbial pathogens (pathogens hereafter)
in agricultural settings is needed to assess the risk of pathogen contamination to water and …

The lack of proper understanding of multi-layer soil moisture (SM) profile (signals) remains a
persistent challenge in sustainable agricultural water management and food security …

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 …

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 …

Soil water content (SWC) plays a key role in partitioning water and energy fluxes at the land
surface and in controlling hydrologic fluxes such as groundwater recharge. Despite the …

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 (SM) is an important biophysical parameter by which to evaluate water
resource potential, especially for agricultural activities under the pressure of global warming …

In a synthetic study we explore the potential of using surface soil moisture measurements
obtained from different satellite platforms to retrieve soil moisture profiles and soil hydraulic …

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 …
