Changes in water content drive forest changes at diurnal (inner ring), seasonal (middle ring), and decadal (outer ring) timescales. Across decadal‐scale responses, declines in VWC can lead to mortality and/or fire. VWC will also increase in concert with successional dynamics. Across dry and wet seasons, forest VWC evolves through both phenology and de‐/rehydration. Lastly, VWC has a strong diurnal cycle driven by the diurnal cycle of ET
