Abstract Tile drainage is widely adopted in the U.S. Midwest to manage excess soil water and sustain agricultural productivity, yet its impact on key water budget components—particularly evapotranspiration (ET)—remains insufficiently understood under varying drainage designs and climate conditions.

Abstract The decoupling coefficient (Ω), a dimensionless metric that quantifies the balance between stomatal conductance (Gs) and aerodynamic conductance (Ga) in regulating evapotranspiration (ET), is key to understanding vegetation‐atmosphere interactions, which are fundamental to ecohydrological cycles and ecosystem functioning.

Landscape Controls River Continuum Dissolved Organic Carbon in Northeastern Alaska
Abstract Rivers draining continuous permafrost landscapes on the North Slope of Alaska span from the mountains to the coast, integrating gradients in vegetation, soil organic matter, and hydrologic flow. We investigated how these landscape transitions influence dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, radiocarbon ages, and export along the river ...

Mapping Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems for Contiguous China With Selected Hydroclimatic Windows
Abstract Groundwater‐dependent ecosystems (GDEs) provide critical ecosystem services in arid and semiarid regions and help sustain ecosystems during droughts in humid areas. Accurate mapping of GDEs is essential for improving water resource management and ecosystem conservation.

Self‐Organization Shapes Divergent Water Use Strategies of Shrubs for Drought Resilience in Drylands
Abstract Differentiation in water use strategies is essential for maintaining the function and resilience of dryland ecosystems. Under prolonged drought, dominant shrubs self‐organize into two typical spatial configurations: scattered with separated individuals and clumped with clustered individuals.
