Terraced Pasture Changes the Soil Moisture Dynamics

Estimating Soil Moisture Profile Dynamics from Near-surface Soil Moisture Measurements and Standard Meteorological Data

Evolution dynamics in terraced NK landscapes

We consider populations of agents evolving in the fitness landscape of an extended NK model with a tunable amount of neutrality. We study the statistics of the jumps in mean population fitness which occur in the ‘punctuated equilibrium’ regime and show that, for a wide range of landscapes parameters, the number of events in time t is Poisson distributed, with the time parameter replaced by the ...

Changes in temperature - moisture covariance could increase soil carbon loss

CMIP 5 Projected Soil Moisture Changes over South Asia

Soil moisture is the vital component of the hydrological cycle and its variability is largely uncertain in the upcoming decades. In this paper the future projections of soil moisture changes over South Asia have been analyzed on both annual and seasonal basis from 2020-2050. The comparison of 24 CMIP5 (Coupled Model Inter comparison Project Phase 5) models with GLDAS (Global Lad Data Assimilati...

Models of soil moisture dynamics in ecohydrology: A comparative study

[1] An accurate description of plant ecology requires an understanding of the interplay between precipitation, infiltration, and evapotranspiration. A simple model for soil moisture dynamics, which does not resolve spatial variations in saturation, facilitates analytical expressions of soil and plant behavior as functions of climate, soil, and vegetation characteristics. Proper application of s...
