Abstract: The understanding of soil moisture dynamics is important for agricultural productivity as well as water resource management. This study investigates the spatial variations of drought in relation to soil moisture, across three different soil layer depths in Nigeria, using the established drought indices. Multiple soil moistures at different levels within the soil profile were considered to investigate their respective changes between 1981 and 2022. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was used to assess the st… Show more
