英文摘要 | Variations in hillslope soil moisture control forest hydrologic fluxes and storage pools, yet sparse observations combined with the complexity and heterogeneity of water movement and storage in the vadose zone can make temporal and spatial patterns and processes difficult to predict. We used two years of field observations of volumetric soil moisture at three depths (15, 30, and 100 cm) across five topographic positions (riparian, toeslope, sideslope, shoulder, and ridge) along three hillslope transects to better understand how soil moisture changes with hillslope position and through time. As expected, we found higher values of soil moisture at all depths at the riparian and toeslope positions. Unexpectedly, we found that ridges were particularly wet during the wet winter months and dried quickly during the summer months, indicating that topography alone cannot account for mean wet season soil moisture in our Mediterranean-climate field site. The variability in soil moisture across all soil depths and topographic positions was greatest when soils were dry and decreased under wet soil conditions; this variability remained high in the deeper soil horizons, regardless of season. Lastly, event-analysis suggests that the response to early-season rainfall was highly variable along the hillslopes and was likely dominated by localized controls such as micro-topography and vegetation as well as soil texture, antecedent moisture conditions and rainfall characteristics. Our results suggest that the drivers of wet and dry season soil moisture dynamics can vary across topographic positions along a hillslope and do not always follow topographic controls. |
