Soil moisture trends in the Czech Republic between 1961 and 2012 - are droughts more likely?
Original language description
Soil moisture dynamics and their temporal trends in the Czech Republic are forced by various drivers. Our analysis of temporal trends indicates that shifts in drought severity between 1961 and 2012 and especially in the April, May, and June period, whiche.g. displayed a 50 % increase in drought probability when 1961-1980 and 2001-2012 is compared. We found that increased global radiation and air temperature together with decreased relative humidity (all statistically significant with P < 0.05) led to increases in the reference evapotranspiration in all months of the growing season; this trend was particularly evident in April, May, and August, when more than 80 % of the territory displayed an increased demand for soil water. These changes, in combination with the earlier end of snow cover and the earlier start of the growing season (up to 20 days in some regions), led to an increased actual evapotranspiration at the start of growing season that tended to deplete the soil moisture earl
