The interactions between soil and water are so intimate and complex that they cannot be effectively studied in a piecemeal manner; they require a systems approach. In this spirit, hydropedology has emerged in recent years as a synergistic integration of soil science and hydrology that offers a renewed perspective and an integrated approach to understanding interactive pedologic and hydrologic processes and their properties in the Critical Zone.</div> application/pdf 10.1002/hyp.10686 en Wiley Hydropedology: Synergistic integration of soil science and hydrology in the Critical Zone article
