soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer models (SVAT)

Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) models are tools scientists use to understand how water, heat, and gases move between the land surface, plants, and the atmosphere. They simulate processes like soil moisture changes, plant water uptake, and evaporation, helping us predict weather, climate patterns, and how ecosystems respond to environmental changes. These models integrate data about soil properties, plant characteristics, and climate conditions to provide a detailed picture of the interactions across these interconnected systems.
