      abstract     = {The study of water pathways from the soil to the atmosphere
                      through plants-the so-called soil-plant-atmosphere continuum
                      (SPAC)-has always been central to agronomy, hydrology, plant
                      physiology, and other disciplines, using a wide range of
                      approaches and tools. In recent years, we have been
                      witnessing a rapid expansion of interweaving monitoring
                      activities and model development related to SPAC in
                      climatic, ecological, and applications other than the
                      traditional agrohydrological, and it is therefore timely to
                      review the current status of this topic and outline future
                      directions of research. The initiative for the special
                      section of Vadose Zone Journal on SPAC emanated from several
                      sessions we recently organized in international conferences
                      and meetings. With a view to the specific research questions
                      covered in this special section, this article introduces and
                      reviews SPAC underlying issues and then provides a brief
                      overview of the invited contributions. We have grouped
                      together the 15 contributions under three main sections
                      related to the local, field, and landscape spatial scales of
                      interests. Within these sections, the papers present their
                      innovative results using different measuring techniques
                      (from classic tensiometers and TDR sensors to more advanced
                      and sophisticated equipment based on tomography and
                      geophysics) and different modeling tools (from mechanistic
                      models based on the Richards equation to more parametrically
                      parsimonious hydrologic balance models). They provide a
                      snapshot of the current state of the art while emphasizing
                      the significant progress attained in this field of research.
                      New technological developments and applications are also
                      highlighted.},
