Short summary
This study investigates the intricate relationship between soil properties and water-related processes, with a focus on their collective impact on ecosystem service provision. Key soil characteristics were analyzed for their role in regulating the overall hydrological balance in three diverse regions. The study highlights the value of process-based modelling for disentangling soil–climate interactions and cautions against the use of static indicators in hydrological and soil health assessments.
