Left High and Dry: Deep Soil Water Depletion and Ecohydrological Resilience on China's Loess Plateau
WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Deep‐rooted vegetation on China's Loess Plateau taps decades‐old “legacy” water stored in the deep vadose zone. The schematic illustrates how rooting depth controls access to shallow versus deep soil moisture, the role of preferential flow in rare deep‐recharge events, and the progressive depletion of deep soil water as afforested stands age. The inset
