Energy states of soil water - A thermodynamic perspective on soil water dynamics and storage-controlled streamflow generation in different landscapes

The present study confirms that a thermodynamic perspective on soil water is well suited to distinguishing the typical interplay of gravity and capillarity controls on soil water dynamics in different landscapes. To this end, we express the driving matric and gravity potentials by their energetic counterparts and characterize soil water by its...

Quantifying hyporheic exchange at high spatial resolution using natural temperature variations along a first?order stream

Hyporheic exchange is an important process that underpins stream ecosystem function, and there have been numerous ways to characterize and quantify exchange flow rates and hyporheic zone size. The most common approach, using conservative stream tracer experiments and 1?D solute transport modeling, results in oversimplified representations of the...
