New soil moisture study reveals seasonal patterns impacting water resources.
Researchers installed a system to monitor soil moisture at a hillslope to understand how it changes over time and space. They used advanced technology and detailed mapping to track soil moisture levels during different seasons. The data showed that soil moisture reacts differently to rainfall in spring and summer compared to fall and winter. This study helps us understand how soil moisture behaves in different parts of a hillslope and how it responds to changes in the environment.
