Converting forests into rubber plantations weakened the soil CH4 sink in tropical uplands
; ; ; ; ; ; (Land Degradation & Development, 2019)
Large-scale conversion of natural forest to rubber plantations has taken place for decades in Southeast Asia, help to make it a deforestation hot spot. Besides negative changes in biodiversity, ecosystem water, and carbon ... -
Critical Soil Moisture Derived From Satellite Observations Over Europe
; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2020)
Evapotranspiration (ET) is a crucial quantity through which land surface conditions can impact near-surface weather and vice versa. ET can be limited by energy or water availability. The transition between water- and ... -
Estimating water balance components in irrigated agriculture using a combined approach of soil moisture and energy balance monitoring, and numerical modelling
; Becker, Rike; Richard‐Cerda, Juan Carlos; Usman, Muhammad; aus der Beek, Tim; Merz, Ralf; Schüth, Christoph (Hydrological Processes, 2021-03-11)
Information on water balance components such as evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge are crucial for water management. Due to differences in physical conditions, but also due to limited budgets, there is not one ... -
Investigation of subsurface connectivity and subsurface stormflow in low mountain ranges—Findings from the two research catchments Obere Brachtpe and Bohlmicke (Germany)
; (Hydrological Processes, 2022-02-12)
The two small research catchments Obere Brachtpe (2.6 km2; 50.989986, 7.752013) and Bohlmicke (1 km2, 51.079319, 7.892988) are located in the Rhenish Massif, a low mountain range in Germany. Land use in both catchments is ... -
Nonuniform but highly preferential stemflow routing along bark surfaces and actual smaller infiltration areas than previously assumed: A case study on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.).
; ; Lotze, Robert (Ecohydrology, 2020-06-30)
Canopy and tree morphology are assumed to play a significant role in modulating the amount of rainfall water during its routing throughout the vegetation and the near‐surface Critical Zone. One crucial point of research ... -
Potential of Thermal Neutrons to Correct Cosmic‐Ray Neutron Soil Moisture Content Measurements for Dynamic Biomass Effects
; ; ; ; (Water Resources Research, 2022-08-22)
Cosmic‐ray neutron sensors (CRNS) enable noninvasive determination of field‐scale soil moisture content by exploiting the dependence of the intensity of aboveground epithermal neutrons on the hydrogen contained in soil ... -
The 2018–2020 Multi‐Year Drought Sets a New Benchmark in Europe
; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Earth's Future, 2022-03-24)
During the period 2018–2020, Europe experienced a series of hot and dry weather conditions with significant socioeconomic and environmental consequences. Yet, the extremity of these multi‐year dry conditions is not recognized. ... -
Vertically Divergent Responses of SOC Decomposition to Soil Moisture in a Changing Climate
; ; ; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2022-01-31)
The role of soil moisture for organic matter decomposition rates remains poorly understood and underrepresented in Earth System Models (ESMs). We apply the Dual Arrhenius Michaelis‐Menten (DAMM) model to a selection of ESM ... -
Water transport and tracer mixing in volcanic ash soils at a tropical hillslope: A wet layered sloping sponge
; Crespo, Patricio; ; Feyen, Jan; (Hydrological Processes, 2020)
Andosol soils formed in volcanic ash provide key hydrological services in montane environments. To unravel the subsurface water transport and tracer mixing in these soils we conducted a detailed characterization of soil ...
