This study looked at how rainfall affects soil water and temperature in a dry area. They found that rainfall causes soil water and temperature to change, with more water and lower temperatures near the surface. The type of land use also affects how soil water changes after rainfall. Alfalfa land loses water due to plant transpiration, while bare land retains more water. The depth of the soil also influences how much water and temperature change after rainfall. The duration and intensity of rainfall, as well as the type of land and soil texture, all play a role in how soil water and temperature are affected.
