Understanding the interaction between precipitation and vegetation growth in water-limited ecosystems is vital for various livelihoods that depend on water resources. Precipitation is the primary driver of vegetation growth in dry ecosystems, while fog deposition is essential for the microclimate at dry coastal ecosystems and cloud forests. The analysis of soil moisture, which incorporates the action of climate, soil, and vegetation, is the key to understanding the carbon and water relations and the interaction between precipitation and vegetation. This thesis examines the impacts of precipitation variability on carbon and water relations in African savannas and the similarities in rainfall and fog deposition. The ecosystem-scale transp...
