\n Abstract Root hydraulic properties are key physiological traits that determine the capacity of root systems to take up water, at a specific evaporative demand. They can strongly vary among species, cultivars or even within the same genotype, but a systematic analysis of their variation across plant functional types (PFTs) is still missing. Here, we reviewed published empirical studies on root hydraulic properties at the segment‐, individual root‐, or root system scale and determined its variability and the main factors contributing to it. This corresponded to a total of 241 published studies, comprising 213 species, including woody and herbaceous vegetation. We observed an extremely large range of variation (of orders of magnitude) in root hydraulic properties, but this was not caused by systematic differences among PFTs. Rather, the (combined) effect of factors such as root system age, driving force used for measurement, or stress treatments shaped the results. We found a significant decrease in root hydraulic properties under stress conditions (drought and aquaporin inhibition, p  \\textless .001) and a significant effect of the driving force used for measurement (hydrostatic or osmotic gradients, p  \\textless .001). Furthermore, whole root system conductance increased significantly with root system age across several crop species ( p  \\textless .01), causing very large variation in the data (\\textgreater2 orders of magnitude).

This is promising for improving hydrologic model predictions, as CRNS can provide valuable information on SM in the root zone at the typical scale of a model grid cell. In this study, SM measurements from a network of 12 CRNS in the Rur catchment (Germany) were assimilated into the Terrestrial System Modeling Platform (TSMP) to investigate its potential for improving SM, evapotranspiration (ET) and river discharge characterization and estimating soil hydraulic parameters at the larger catchment scale. The data assimilation (DA) experiments (with and without parameter estimation) were conducted in both a wet year (2016) and a dry year (2018) with the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF), and later verified with an independent year (2017) without DA.

\n Abstract Cosmic‐ray neutron sensors (CRNS) fill the gap between locally measured in‐situ soil moisture (SM) and remotely sensed SM by providing accurate SM estimation at the field scale. This is promising for improving hydrologic model predictions, as CRNS can provide valuable information on SM in the root zone at the typical scale of a model grid cell. In this study, SM measurements from a network of 12 CRNS in the Rur catchment (Germany) were assimilated into the Terrestrial System Modeling Platform (TSMP) to investigate its potential for improving SM, evapotranspiration (ET) and river discharge characterization and estimating soil hydraulic parameters at the larger catchment scale. The data assimilation (DA) experiments (with and without parameter estimation) were conducted in both a wet year (2016) and a dry year (2018) with the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF), and later verified with an independent year (2017) without DA. The results show that SM characterization was significantly improved at measurement locations (with up to 60% root mean square error (RMSE) reduction), and that joint state‐parameter estimation improved SM simulation more than state estimation alone (more than 15% additional RMSE reduction). Jackknife experiments showed that SM at verification locations had lower and different improvements in the wet and dry years (an RMSE reduction of 40% in 2016 and 16% in 2018). In addition, SM assimilation was found to improve ET characterization to a much lesser extent, with a 15% RMSE reduction of monthly ET in the wet year and 9% in the dry year. , Key Points Assimilation of soil moisture from a network of cosmic‐ray neutron sensors improves soil moisture characterization at the catchment scale Soil moisture characterization improved more in a wet year than in a very dry year Evapotranspiration and river discharge simulation are only slightly improved, despite better estimations of soil moisture\n

\n Abstract. Land degradation is a cause of many social, economic, and environmental problems. Therefore identification and monitoring of high-risk areas for land degradation are necessary. Despite the importance of land degradation due to wind and water erosion in some areas of the world, the combined study of both types of erosion in the same area receives relatively little attention. The present study aims to create a land degradation map in terms of soil erosion caused by wind and water erosion of semi-dry land. We focus on the Lut watershed in Iran, encompassing the Lut Desert that is influenced by both monsoon rainfalls and dust storms. Dust sources are identified using MODIS satellite images with the help of four different indices to quantify uncertainty. The dust source maps are assessed with three machine learning algorithms encompassing the artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF), and flexible discriminant analysis (FDA) to map dust sources paired with soil erosion susceptibility due to water. We assess the accuracy of the maps from the machine learning results with the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) metric. The water and aeolian soil erosion maps are used to identify different classes of land degradation risks. The results show that 43 % of the watershed is prone to land degradation in terms of both aeolian and water erosion. Most regions (45 %) have a risk of water erosion and some regions (7 %) a risk of aeolian erosion. Only a small fraction (4 %) of the total area of the region had a low to very low susceptibility for land degradation. The results of this study underline the risk of land degradation for in an inhabited region in Iran. Future work should focus on land degradation associated with soil erosion from water and storms in larger regions to evaluate the risks also elsewhere.\n

\n Abstract Plant water uptake and plant and soil water status are important for the soil water balance and plant growth. They depend on atmospheric water demand and the accessibility of soil water to plant roots, which is in turn related to the hydraulic properties of the root system and the soil around root segments. We present a simulation model that describes water flow in the soil–plant system mechanistically considering both root and soil hydraulic properties. We developed an approach to upscale three‐dimensional (3D) flow in the soil toward root segments of a 3D root architecture to a model that considers one‐dimensional flow between horizontal soil layers and radial flow to root segments in that layer. The upscaled model couples upscaled linear flow equations in the root system with an analytical solution of the nonlinear radial flow equation between the soil and roots. The upscaled model avoids simplifying assumptions about root hydraulic properties and water potential drops near roots made in, respectively, soil‐ and root‐centered models. Xylem water potentials and soil–root interface potentials are explicitly simulated and show, respectively, large variations with depth and large deviations from bulk soil water potentials under dry soil conditions. Accounting for hydraulic gradients in the soil around root segments led to an earlier but slower reduction of transpiration during a drought period and a better plant water status with higher nighttime plant water potentials. , Core Ideas Root water uptake depends on root and soil hydraulic properties. Water uptake at root element scale was upscaled to the root system scale. The upscaled model can be implemented in one‐dimensional soil water flow models. Low conductance of dry soil prevents low nighttime plant water potentials.\n
