  - While the claim that water-carbon interactions result in spatially coherent vegetation
    patterning is rarely disputed in many arid and semiarid regions, the significance
    of the detailed water pathways and other high frequency variability remain an
    open question. How the short temporal scale meteorological fluctuations form the
    long-term spatial variability of available soil water in complex terrains due
    to the various hydrological, land surface, and vegetation dynamic feedbacks frames
    the scope of the work here. Knowledge of the detailed mechanistic feedbacks among
    soil, plants, and the atmosphere will lead to advances in our understanding of
    plant water availability in arid and semiarid ecosystems and will provide insights
    for future model development concerning vegetation pattern formation. In this
    study, quantitative estimates of water fluxes and vegetation productivity are
    provided for a semiarid ecosystem with established vegetation bands on hillslopes
    using numerical simulations. A state-of-the-science process based ecohydrological
    model is used, which resolves hydrological and plant physiological processes at
    the relevant space and time scales, for relatively small periods (e.g., decades)
    of mature ecosystems (i.e., spatially static vegetation distribution). To unfold
    the mechanisms that shape the spatial distribution of soil moisture, plant productivity
    and the relevant surface/subsurface and atmospheric water fluxes, idealized hillslope
    numerical experiments are constructed, where the effects of soil type, slope steepness,
    and overland flow accumulation area are quantified. Those mechanisms are also
    simulated in the presence of complex topography features on landscapes. The main
    results are (a) short temporal scale meteorological variability and accurate representation
    of the scales at which each ecohydrological process operates are crucial for the
    estimation of the spatial variability of soil water availability to the plant
    root zone; (b) water fluxes such as evapotranspiration, infiltration, runoff-run-on,
    and subsurface soil water movement have a dynamic short temporal scale behavior
    that determines the long-term spatial organization of plant soil water availability
    in ecosystems with established vegetation patterns; and (c) hypotheses concerning
    the hydrological responses that can lead to vegetation pattern formation have
    to accommodate realistic and physically based representations of the fast dynamics
    of key ecohydrological fluxes.@eng
