Agricultural crops play a vital role in the global water cycle. However, climate change may modify crops' physiology, agricultural ecosystems and interactions within the land-atmosphere (L-A) system via altered energy, water, and carbon fluxes. For predicting future hydro-climatic conditions and evaluating agricultural land use practices, particularly in light of the increased frequency of extreme events, it is critical to gain knowledge about crop transpiration (T) and soil evaporation (E) rates on a local scale, their temporal dynamics, and their connection to the L-A system. Within Project 3 (P3), we will use coupled water and isotope flux measurements along the L-A system to investigate water-related processes at high temporal (
