Ecosystem processes at the watershed scale: Hydrologic vegetation gradient as an indicator for lateral hydrologic connectivity of headwater catchments
[1] Lateral water flow in catchments can produce important patterns in water and nutrient fluxes and stores and also influences the long-term spatial development of forest ecosystems. Specifically, patterns of vegetation type and density along hydrologic flow paths can represent a signal of the redistribution of water and nitrogen mediated by lateral hydrologic flow. This study explores the use...
متن کاملHydrologic processes at the urban residential scale
In the face of increasing urbanization, there is growing interest in application of microscale hydrologic solutions to minimize storm runoff and conserve water at the source. In this study, a physically based numerical model was developed to understand hydrologic processes better at the urban residential scale and the interaction of these processes among different best management practices (BMP...
متن کاملAn object oriented approach to the description and simulation of watershed scale hydrologic processes
An object-oriented design (OOD) approach is used to describe watershed scale hydrologic processes. Individual objects (or processes) at multiple levels are described using the ‘inheritance’ concept, while the interactions of objects (or processes) are described using the ‘aggregation’ concept. This design methodology is applied to create the new watershed based hydrological model OBJTOP (OBJect...
متن کاملProcess Representation in Watershed-scale Hydrologic Models: an Evaluation in an Experimental Watershed
Hydrologic response varies within a watershed as a function of topography, soil, and land cover. Spatial and temporal data from experimental watersheds may provide information on where, when, how, and why the response varies. This study examined the hydrologic response of an agricultural watershed, FD-36, in the Appalachian Valley and Ridge physiographic region. FD-36 is characterized by shallo...

Band, L.E., Patterson, P., Nemani, R. and Running, S.W., 1993. Forest ecosystem processes at the watershed scale: incorporating hillslope hydrology. Agric. For. Meteorol., 63: 93-126. An approach to distributed modeling of watershed hydro-ecological processes over large spatial scales is described. A data and simulation system, RHESSys (Regional HydroEcological Simulation System), combines a se...
