New research shows how changing rainfall speeds up soil carbon loss and how biochar helps soil cope with stress.

Soil moisture content is the main factor that controls how far and at what concentration natural gas spreads from a leaked pipeline underground, a new study has found. Soil moisture content is the ...

The study areas, the land cover types, and measurement sites in the Shandian River Basin and Naqu. The training sites are labeled with red, and the validation sites are marked with orange. Soil ...

Soils lose moisture quickly during droughts because the molecular interactions that help retain water are not fully understood. Understanding this mechanism can help engineer soils to better preserve ...

Last summer, the Aspen Global Change Institute’s first subalpine soil-moisture and snowpack-monitoring station began transmitting live data to researchers, stakeholders and the Aspen water department.

The increasing frequency of once-in-a-decade agricultural and ecological drought has underscored the urgency of studying hydrological changes. A research team has analyzed the estimated changes in ...
