Biome function is largely governed by how efficiently available resources can be used and yet for water, the ratio of direct biological resource use (transpiration, E_T) to total supply (annual precipitation, P) at ecosystem scales remains poorly characterized. Here, we synthesize field, remote sensing and ecohydrological modelling estimates to show...
Continental precipitation not routed to the oceans as runoff returns to the atmosphere
as evapotranspiration. Partitioning this evapotranspiration flux into interception, transpiration,
soil evaporation, and surface water evaporation is difficult using traditional hydrological
methods yet critical for understanding the water cycle and linked ecological processes. We
combined two large-scale flux-partitioning...

Interannual variation in precipitation totals is a critical factor governing the year-to-year availability of water resources, yet the connection between interannual precipitation variability and underlying event- and season-scale precipitation variability remains unclear. In this study, tropical and midlatitude precipitation characteristics derived from extensive station records and high-frequency satellite observations were...
Sampling intervals of precipitation geochemistry measurements are often coarser than those required by fine-scale hydrometeorological models. This study presents a statistical method to temporally downscale geochemical tracer signals in precipitation so that they can be used in high-resolution, tracer-enabled applications. In this method, we separated the deterministic component of the...
Maintaining the quality and quantity of water resources in light of complex changes in climate, human land use, and ecosystem composition requires detailed understanding of ecohydrologic function within catchments, yet monitoring relevant upstream characteristics can be challenging. In this study, we investigate how variability in riverine microbial communities can be...
Deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratios in Earth’s hydrologic cycle have long served as important
tracers of climate processes, yet the global HDO budget remains poorly constrained because of uncertainties
in the isotopic compositions of continental evapotranspiration and runoff. Here bias-corrected satellite retrievals of
HDO and H₂O concentrations from the Tropospheric...
