The growth and overlay of a large number of bryophytes in the broken soil patches between the exposed bedrocks of karst have an essential influence on the infiltration and runoff process between the exposed bedrocks and even the whole rocky desertifi...
Preferential flow is the most common form of water loss occurring at the interface between rock and soil (hereinafter referred to as “rock–soil interface”) in karst areas, and it is also one of the important factors causing soil wat...
Soil moisture plays a crucial role in hydrological processes and serves as a key driver of rainfall-induced landslides, especially in regions with steep terrain and intense precipitation. Traditional landslide risk models often oversimplify soil mois...
Even if urban catchments are adequately drained by sewer infrastructures, flooding hotspots develop where ongoing development and poor coordination among utilities conspire with land use and land cover, drainage, and rainfall. We combined spatially e...
Background and Objectives: Mineral topsoil moisture is a very important component of the hydrological balance in forests. The moisture is closely related to the forest type, its woody species composition, stand age, and structure through interception...
The 2021 Navalacruz wildfire occurred in a mountainous area in the Sistema Central (Spain). Despite having an average low severity index (dNBR), the loss of vegetation cover associated with the fire was responsible for a high rate of sedimentation in...
