Short summary
This study investigates soil water dynamics along an elevation gradient and distinguishes individual soil water pools (mobile vs. tightly bound water). Varying persistence of winter-derived soil water was documented, with longer residence times in lowland areas despite the absence of snow cover. A new method for direct extraction of tightly bound soil water, together with a correction procedure, also revealed distinct seasonal behavior of soil water pools, particularly during spring and autumn.
