Abstract: Soil moisture has a major influence on the partitioning between infiltration and runoff, and thus affects groundwater recharge, floodings, and the susceptibility of hillslopes to landslides. In addition, soil moisture can influence weather and climate, and the availability of water for plant growth directly affects agricultural productivity and food supply. Soil moisture varies in time and space and on multiple scales, which leads to nonlinear environmental interactions and scaling problems. Thus, timely information on multiple scales is required to accurately characterize soil moisture dependent processes.
