      abstract     = {We explore and review the value of soil moisture
                      measurements in vadose zone hydrology with a focus on the
                      field and catchment scales. This review is motivated by the
                      increasing ability to measure soil moisture with
                      unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution across scales.
                      We highlight and review the state of the art in using soil
                      moisture measurements for (1) estimation of soil hydraulic
                      properties, (2) quantification of water and energy fluxes,
                      and (3) retrieval of spatial and temporal dynamics of soil
                      moisture profiles. We argue for the urgent need to have
                      access to field monitoring sites and databases that include
                      detailed information about variability of hydrological
                      fluxes and parameters, including their upscaled values. In
                      addition, improved data assimilation methods are needed that
                      fully exploit the information contained in soil moisture
                      data. The development of novel upscaling methods for
                      predicting effective moisture fluxes and disaggregation
                      schemes toward integrating large-scale soil moisture
                      measurements in hydrological models will increase the value
                      of soil moisture measurements. Finally, we recognize a need
                      to develop strategies that combine hydrogeophysical
                      measurement techniques with remote sensing methods.},
