Quantifying near-surface soil evaporation losses in semi-arid shrublands using lc-excess–coupled Rayleigh fractionation: Evidence from the Hunshandake Sandy Land, China

Global warming-driven soil desiccation and hydrological decline in Namangan foothills, Uzbekistan

The foothills of Central Asia are climate-sensitive transition zones where persistent warming is driving a “warming–drying paradox”—water resources decline even as rainfall holds steady because evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. This study assessed long-term hydroclimatic change in the Namangan foothills of east...

Study of water vapor sources in the southwestern margin of the Loess Plateau, China: Based on stable isotopes

Hydro-physical characterization of contrasting urban and natural soils in a semi-arid basin: Implications for water transfer in Bouskoura, Morocco

Urbanization modifies soil conditions and may alter the partitioning of rainfall between surface run - off and subsurface water transfer, particularly in semi-arid environments. This study characterizes the hydro-physical properties of soils under contrasting land-use conditions in the Bouskoura Basin, Mo - rocco. Four...

Drought-induced soil moisture declines in Andean catchments inferred from satellite-derived ground displacement

The 2023–2024 drought reduced water availability worldwide, yet its impacts on soil moisture remain unknown in ungauged Andean catchments. Therefore, we assessed drought-induced soil moisture changes across seven catchments in Ecuador using a multivariable approach that integrates Sentinel-1 A SAR interferometry (InS...

Integrated analysis of surface water-groundwater interactions and enhanced hydrological forecasting of glacierized river in cold and arid regions

In cold and arid regions, climate change has altered precipitation patterns and accelerated glacierized retreat, which imposes severe risks on the stability of regional hydrological systems. Combined with the strong interactions between surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) regulated by distinctive geological conditi...

Hydrological Controls on Drip Water δ 18 O Heterogeneity: A 4‐Year Monitoring Study in Remi Cave, Southern China

Understanding how stable water isotopes are modified during percolation through the soil‐epikarst‐bedrock continuum is a fundamental challenge in karst hydrology, particularly in subtropical monsoon regions with heterogeneous infiltration dynamics. This study presents a four‐year (December 2020–December 2024) isoto...
