Satellite-based near-surface (0–2 cm) soil moisture estimates have global coverage, but do not capture variations of soil moisture in the root zone (up to 100 cm depth) and may be…
The paper introduces a minimalist water-driven crop model for sustainable irrigation management using an eco-hydrological approach. Such model, called MY SIRR, uses a relatively small number of parameters and attempts…
Estimation of root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) at regional scales is a critical issue in surface hydrology that could be a great help for estimating evapotranspiration, erosion, runoff, and irrigation requirements,…
Soil moisture is a variable of paramount importance for a number of natural processes and requires the capacity to be routinely measured at different spatial and temporal scales (e.g., hillslope…
In the present work, we developed a new formulation for the estimation of the soil moisture in the root zone based on the measured value of soil moisture at the…
In the present work, we developed a new formulation for the estimation of the soil moisture in the root zone based on the measured value of soil moisture at the…
Characterizing the dynamics of soil moisture fields is a key issue in hydrology, offering a strategy to improve our understanding of complex climate-soil-vegetation interactions. Apart from in-situ measurements and hydrological…
Nella presente memoria vengono riportati alcuni dei risultati ottenuti dall’analisi dei dati idrologici monitorati all’interno del bacino sperimentale della Fiumarella di Corleto. Tale bacino è dotato di una strumentazione di…
The papers in this issue represent a selection of the presentations made at the session entitled “Climate-soil and vegetation interactions in ecological–hydrological processes” of the European Geophysical Union General Assembly.…
The description of soil moisture dynamics is a challenging problem for the hydrological community, as it is governed by complex interactions between climate, soil and vegetation. Recent research has achieved…
Society is facing growing environmental problems that require new research efforts to understand of the way that ecosystems operate and survive and their mutual relationships with the hydrologic cycle. This…
Characterizing the spatial dynamics of soil moisture fields is a key issue in hydrology, offering an avenue to improve our understanding of complex land surface–atmosphere interactions. In this paper, the…
Recent work by Isham et al. and Rodrìguez-Iturbe et al. has characterized the space- time variability of soil moisture through its analytically derived covariance function which depends on soil properties,…
The present paper complements that of Isham et al. (2005), who introduced a space-time soil moisture model driven by stochastic space-time rainfall forcing with homogeneous vegetation and in the absence…
This paper examines the linkage between the drainage network and the patterns of soil water balance components determined by the organization of vegetation, soils and climate in a semiarid river…
