Very excited for this to come out just after presenting it at #AGU25. We show how fine root presence reveals deep root-regolith interactions more accurately than biomass, using root abundance data from 75 soil pits in many ecosystem types.

Contrasting Depth Dependencies of Plant Root Presence and Mass Across Biomes Underscore Prolific Root‐Regolith Interactions
Fine and coarse root presence or absence measurements in 75 deep soil profiles open an illuminating way to characterize root distributions Root presence depth distributions contrast with root mas...

New publication: "Identifying preferential flow from soil moisture time series: Review of methodologies" in Vadose Zone Journal.

We synthesized the methods to identify preferential flow of soil water based on soil moisture observations. 🧵

Identifying preferential flow from soil moisture time series: Review of methodologies
Soil moisture data can be used to identify the occurrence of preferential flow (PF) and its initiating conditions. Various data-analysis methods to identify PF differ in susceptibility to error, bia...
