Previous research has shown that soil moisture plays a critical part in both permafrost thaw and carbon exchange with the atmosphere — as the permafrost breaks down, surface water may drain away to deeper soil layers, leaving the topsoil high and dry.

Conversely, water in clayey soils is held by capillary forces of cohesion and adhesion, which make drainage to deeper soil layers slower and uptake by tree roots more difficult.

We propose that when there is adequate precipitation to allow deep drainage, trees can survive on clayey soils, however, in periods of lower precipitation, there may not be enough water reaching the rooting zone to meet the evaporative demand.

At soil depths greater than 30 feet below the surface, the soil temperature is relatively constant, and corresponds roughly to the water temperature measured in groundwater wells 30 to 50 feet deep.

We find a close agreement between the CESM - based hindcasts and the Markov model, indicating that the largest contribution to the predictive skill of soil water on interannual to decadal timescales in CESM can be attributed to the damped persistence, which is partly governed by the evapotranspiration (Delworth and Manabe 1988), the total runoff, and the diffusion of soil moisture into the deeper soil levels as shown in the Eq.

In contrast, the dominant mode of total water storage exhibits a large degree of redness, which translates into decadal predictability of depth integrated soil moisture, particularly for the deep soil layers.
