Exploring the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum: Advancements, Integrated Modeling and Ecohydrological Insights
In recent years, the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere (SPA) continuum has faced unprecedented challenges due to anthropogenic modifications and climate change. Understanding the complex dynamics of this system in response to such changes is crucial for addressing contemporary environmental concerns. Albert …

Monitoring and modeling fluxes transfer processes in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum across scales
Alle interazioni tra le diverse componenti del sistema suolo-pianta-atmosfera (SPA) è attribuito un ruolo critico nel ciclo idrologico e della biosfera terrestre. La comunità scientifica specializzata è sempre più consapevole della necessità di portare avanti studi a carattere …

Water Transport in the Vadose Zone and Hydrological Processes in Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) in West Texas, USA
… in the vadose zone is critical in linking the atmosphere and groundwater system, which plays an important role in the terrestrial hydrological cycle. Although numerous studies have been conducted, the comprehensive understanding of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) is still limited. In …

Development and preliminary evaluation of the simulation model C- maize VT1.0
… model of corn (<i>Zea mays</i>) growth in a soil plant atmosphere continuum. The purpose of developing the C-Maize VT1.0 simulation model was to provide an additional tool to researcher’s investigating the affects of water and nitrogen stress on corn growth and the movement of water and …

Ecohydrology of a riparian woodland along the Oldman River, Alberta
… southern Alberta. To link elements in the river-soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, river and groundwater levels and precipitation were monitored; sap flow was continuously measured with thermal dissipation probes in eight trees and stomatal conductance and leaf water potential were measured …

Use of gypsum blocks for measurement of soil water status : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
Considerable attention has been devoted to soil moisture studies by workers in agriculture, forestry, and engineering, and to a lesser extent by geographers. Methods range from age-old one of feeling a soil, to the recent neutron-scattering devices. The Gravimetric method of soil moisture …

Quantifying the Sensitivity of Land-Surface Models to Hydrodynamic Stress Limitations on Transpiration
… of Earth's climate, providing the link for the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Stomata conductance, which governs transpiration, also provides the link between latent heat flux and carbon uptake rates. Current land-surface models couple stomata conductance and soil moisture through empirical …

Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Coupling during Interstorm Periods
… are used to characterize water exchange in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. These satellites enable evaluation of time evolution of landscape-scale plant water content during interstorm periods, providing insights into underlying mechanisms and allowing disentangling of their drivers. Here, …

Eddy-covariance measurements as a tool for ecological and hydrological studies on the Tibetan Plateau
… C turnover in different compartments of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. These results identified the unique root layer of Kobresia pygmaea as the most important part of the pasture ecosystem. This is of great importance for the further conducted study which estimated the effect of …

Model-based analysis of climate change impacts on the productivity of oak-pine forests in Brandenburg
… mechanistic and calculates the differences of soil water potential along a soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. I assumed the total root resistance to vary at low, medium and high total root resistance levels. For validation purposes three data sets on different tree growth relevant time scales are …
