Application of a soil moisture diagnostic equation for estimating root-zone soil moisture in arid and semi-arid regions

•The soil moisture diagnostic equation was applied to estimate root-zone (0–100cm) soil moisture.•Four USDA Soil Climate Analysis Network sites in arid and semi-arid regions were tested.•Root mean square errors of the estimated soil moistures at four testing sites were less than 3.2 (%).•The errors...
