Drought effects investigation of a forested site at different spatial scales with eddy covariance technique, cosmic ray sensors, electrical resistivity tomography and 2 meters deep soil moisture and matric potential profile
The study explores the drought effects on boreal peatland forests, a problem that has not been sufficiently addressed to date. Deeper knowledge of how these stands respond to drought is essential for refining forest management practices and improving climate modeling. We conducted a holistic investigation of the ecop...

Soil Moisture (SM) represents the temporary storage of water within the shallow layers of the Earth’s upper surface and plays a key role in a wide range of applications, including hydrological processes, numerical weather prediction models and landslide prediction. This study evaluates the comparability of multiple sat...

Alpine plant communities are structured by fine–scale interactions among soil properties, topography and microclimatic conditions, but these gradients are difficult to monitor consistently across space and time. Field observations provide the ecological reference needed to interpret vegetation patterns, whereas satel...

Uncertainty in soil hydraulic properties is a major source of hydrological and flood-modeling error, especially in data-scarce, heterogeneous arid soils. In ephemeral stream watersheds, infiltration strongly controls runoff generation and flash-flood response, yet soil parameters are often treated as deterministic, ign...
