-Lmg-term monitoring of ecological and hydrological processes is critical to understanding ecosystem function and responses to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Much of the world’s knowledge of ecosystem responses to disturbance comes from long-term studies on gaged watersheds. However, there are relatively few long-term sites due to the large cost and commitment required to establish and...

The objectives of this study are to provide detailed information about green roof performances in the Mediterranean climate (retained volume, peak flow reduction, runoff delay) and to identify a suitable modelling approach for describing the associated hydrologic response. Data colleted during a 13 month monitoring campaign and a seasonal monitoring campaign (September to December 2008) at the ...

In the United States, government sponsored conservation programs are under increasing pressure to quantify the environmental benefits of practices they subsidize. To meet this objective, conservation planners need tools to accurately predict phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural lands. Existing P export coefficient based tools are easy to use, but do not adequately account for local conditions....

[1] Both local and large‐scale processes affect the Amazon hydrologic cycle. We investigate the impact of deep soils on the atmosphere through local feedbacks. The Simple Biosphere model, version 3 (SiB3), is coupled to a single column model. Historically, land surface schemes parameterize soil moisture stress based on shallow soils and incorrectly capture seasonal cycles in the Amazon. Followi...

Astiani D, Burhanuddin, Taherdjadeh M, Curran LM. 2016. Effects of water table level on soil CO2 respiration in West Kalimantan forested and bare peatland: An experimental stage. Nusantara Bioscience 8: 201-206. Peatland forest is one of ecosystems that are susceptible to the alterations of water regimes. Our previous study demonstrated that hydrologic conditions are predominant variables in de...

This paper presents results of spatial and temporal analyses of hydro-climatic regimes and simulation of climate-induced hydrologic changes in the Lake Winnipeg watershed. The hydrologic and agricultural chemical yield model, Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), was employed for the simulation of hydrologic scenarios in the Upper Assiniboine catchment of the Lake Winnipeg watershed, Canada. Ana...

Nitrogen (N) limitation constrains plant growth, but complex interactions among species and ecosystems hinder our ability to identify primary drivers of N availability. Hydrologic, biogeochemical, and ecological processes interact spatially and temporally, requiringmeasurements of N across diverse ecosystem types and as a function of both site conditions and vegetation composition.Wemeasured in...

Reliable soil moisture measurements over large areas are much needed for both hydrologic modelling and remote sensing applications. For collecting such data, portable electronic sensors offer a practical alternative to gravimetric measurements. The conversion of the measured electrical output to soil moisture is nonetheless a non trivial task as it depends on soil type and temperature. In this ...
