Spatially Explicit Linkages Between Redox Potential Cycles and Soil Moisture Fluctuations

Andrea Rinaldo, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Paolo Benettin, Manon Frutschi, Simiao Wang, Filippo Miele, Mitra Asadollahi

Reduction-oxidation cycles measured through soil redox potential (Eh) are associated with dynamic soil microbial activity. Understanding changes in the composition of, and resource use by, soil microbial communities requires Eh predictability under shiftin ...

Toward a Closure of Catchment Mass Balance: Insight on the Missing Link From a Vegetated Lysimeter

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Mitra Asadollahi

Improved framework to estimate travel time and derived distributions in hydrological control volumes

Mitra Asadollahi

Crossing properties of soil saturation, defined as the duration and excursion of soil saturation below and above certain thresholds, are key variables to ecosystem functioning and evolution by primarily influencing the plant and soil microbes physiological ...

Tracing and Closing the Water Balance in a Vegetated Lysimeter

Andrea Rinaldo, Michaël Bensimon, Paolo Benettin, Mitra Asadollahi

Closure of the soil water balance is fundamental to ecohydrology. But closing the soil water balance with hydrometric information offers no insight into the age distribution of water transiting the soil column via deep drainage or the combination of soil e ...

Tree water deficit and dynamic source water partitioning

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Mitra Asadollahi

The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen (delta H-2 and delta O-18, respectively) have been widely used to investigate tree water source partitioning. These tracers have shed new light on patterns of tree water use in time and space. However, there are s ...

Transport and Water Age Dynamics in Soils: A Comparative Study of Spatially Integrated and Spatially Explicit Models

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Mitra Asadollahi

We address transport by transit times (i.e., the age of water parcels leaving a storage as discharge, deep loss, or evapotranspiration) in subvertical soil systems, key to our understanding of water quality in catchments and streams. While the use of field ...
