Dataset: Remotely sensed soil moisture can capture dynamics relevant to plant water uptake

Dataset Description
Stable isotope water uptake profiles were consulted across 45 datasets to determine the primary zone of root water uptake ("Uptake Range Top" to "Uptake Range Bottom"), whether the uptake increases in proportion nearer to the surface ("Decay of Water Uptake With Depth"), and whether uptake temporarily switches to shallow soils ("Temporary Uptake of Upper Layers"). More details on the data collection are shared in our Water Resources Research publication (in revision).

Correlation length scales, or the effective depth of representation of L-band satellite soil moisture, are estimates in Short Gianotti et al. 2019 using SMAP surface soil moisture and GPM precipitation retrievals.
