What is it about?
This study assesses the soil water storage in Poland over the years 2000-2015. Soil water storage (SWS) data were acquired from the GLDAS Noah model simulations. The specific objectives were to provide a quantitative assessment of the SWS in the soil layer of 0-50 cm depth to detect extreme stages of SWS, and to provide an insight into the effects of precipitation deficit or surplus on the stage of SWS.

Why is it important?
Extreme soil droughts impact water avalability for plants.
Perspectives
Precipitation is the most important factor influencing soil droughts.
