TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastic model for soil moisture dynamics at a point is studied in detail, where rainfall is described as a marked Poisson process, producing a state-dependent infiltration into the soil.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes results from modeling studies and field observations about flow and transport processes in the hyporheic zone and describes the theories proposed in hydrology and fluid dynamics developed to quantitatively model and predict the hypheic transport of water, heat, and dissolved and suspended compounds from sediment grain scale up to watershed scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological model that describes the structure of turbulence within the canopy sublayer (CSL) is developed, which decomposes the space within the CSL intothree distinct zones: the deep zone is dominated by vortices connected with vonKarman vortex streets, butperiodically interrupted by strong sweep events whose features are influenced by canopy density.

TL;DR: Laio et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a measure of vegetation water stress which combines the mean intensity, duration, and frequency of periods of soil water deficit, showing how the interplay between plant, soil, and environment can lead to optimal conditions for vegetation.

TL;DR: In this article, the water balance is described through the representation of rainfall as a marked Poisson process which in turn produces an infiltration into the soil dependent on the existing level of soil moisture.
