Changing average soil moisture content

Figure 3. Changing average hillslope moisture content from January to August 2002 in response to climatic and vegetative forcings (altered from Tromp-van Meerveld and McDonnell, 2006a): a) daily precipitation, b) hillslope average soil moisture where error bars represent the standard deviation of the profile average soil moisture on the hillslope measured on a given day and c) hillslope average soil moisture at different depths. All soil moisture values are in %Aqua-pro.
