     abstract = "{Soil moisture is an essential ecosystem resource and a major control of
        the Earth's hydrological cycle and energy balance, closely
        interacting with the climate system. However, investigating deep
        soil moisture dynamics at large scales presents significant
        challenges due to the sparse distribution and limited spatial
        representativeness of in situ monitoring networks, while various
        remote sensing methods mainly address surface soil moisture
        within the top few centimeters. This study illustrates how
        seismic waves can effectively detect variations in deep soil
        moisture. We examine continuous seismic data from 791 stations
        across South-Central Europe for the period 2016â”€2020. Our
        findings confirm a strong correlation between variations in
        seismic velocity and deep soil moisture content. Notably, the
        seismic observations pinpoint areas impacted by severe soil
        moisture deficits related to the 2016â”€2017 European drought
        event. The seismic method presented in this study offers new
        opportunities in addressing the observational gap of this
        critical environmental parameter.}",
