Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Surface water vadose zone–groundwater system is a coupled system in which water flow, heat transport and biogeochemical activity are tightly linked with each other. Heat and biogeochemical transport may exhibit distinctly different responses to the hydrological events (e.g, precipitation, flooding) at different scales (e.g, river sediment, riparian zone, catchment). However, to what extent hydrologic flow can affect the transport behavior across multiple spatiotemporal scales, such as from days to decades and from shallow soil to deep aquifer, still remain to be solved. The objective of this Special Issue was to state the recent advances in this interdisciplinary area. The topics may include, but are not limited to, integrated hydrologic modeling, multiphase flow and transport across unsaturated zones and saturated zones, heat transport and energy redistribution under hydrologic events, biogeochemical transport from shallow soil to deep groundwater. Both modeling and field work are of great value to deepen our understanding of the coupled system. We encourage researchers with different backgrounds (e.g., hydrologists, ecologists, geochemists) to contribute original data, innovative field monitoring technology and advanced modeling methods to this Special Issue. Review articles focused on one or more related topics are also highly encouraged.

Based on the bibliometric and data visualization analysis software Citespace, this study carried out document statistics and information mining on the Web of Science database and characterized the distributed hydrological model knowledge system from 1986 to 2019. The results show a few things: (1) from 1986 to 2019, the United States and China accounted for 41% of the total amount of publications, and they were the main force in the field of distributed hydrological model research; (2) field research involves multiple disciplines, mainly covering water resources, geology, earth sciences, environmental sciences, ecology and engineering; (3) the frontier of field research has shifted from using distributed hydrological models in order to simulate runoff and nonpoint source environmental responses to the coupling of technologies and products that can obtain high-precision, high-resolution data with distributed hydrological models. (4) Affected by climate warming, the melting of glaciers has accelerated, and the spatial distribution of permafrost and water resources have changed, which has caused a non-negligible impact on the hydrological process. Therefore, the development of distributed hydrological models suitable for alpine regions and the response of hydrological processes to climate change have also become important research directions at present.

Root water uptake plays an important role in water transport and carbon cycle among Groundwater–Soil–Plant–Atmosphere–Continuum. The acclimation of crops under elevated carbon dioxide concentrations (eCO2) depends greatly on their capability to exploit soil water resources. Quantifying root water uptake and its relationship with crop growth under eCO2 remains challenging. This study observed maize growth subjected to current CO2 (400 ppm) and eCO2 (700 ppm) treatments via a device combined with a climate chamber and weighing lysimeters. Root water uptake patterns were determined based on the isotopic tracing technique. The main water uptake depth shifted from 0−20 cm under current treatment to 20−40 cm under eCO2 at the seedling growth stage. Maize took up 22.7% and 15.4% more soil water from a main uptake depth of 40−80 cm at jointing and tasseling stages in response to eCO2, respectively. More soil water (8.0%) was absorbed from the 80−140 cm layer at the filling stage under eCO2. Soil water contributions at the main uptake depth during seedling stage were negatively associated with leaf transpiration rate (Tr), net photosynthetic rate (Pn), and leaf area index (LAI) under both treatments, whereas significant positive correlations in the 40−80 cm layer under current treatment shifted to the 80−140 cm layer by eCO2. Deep soil water benefited to improve Tr, Pn and LAI under both treatments. No significant correlation between soil water contributions in each layer and leaf water use efficiency was induced by eCO2. This study enhanced our knowledge of crop water use acclimation to future eCO2 and provides insights into agricultural water management. Full article
