Despite the importance of the coupling between vegetation dynamics and root-zone soil moisture in land-atmosphere interactions, there is no land data assimilation system (LDAS) that currently addresses this issue, limiting the capacity to positively impact weather and seasonal forecasting. We develop a new LDAS that can improve the skill of an ecohydrological model to simulate simultaneously su...

La conectividad se define como el grado en que la estructura espacial del paisaje facilita flujo de organismos y substancias. Diversos modelos conceptuales evidencias empíricas atribuyen a hidrológica un papel clave funcionamiento los ecosistemas paisajes áridos, pero aún falta una perspectiva integrada sobre distintos aspectos procesos hidrológicos ecológicos vinculan con degradación recuperac...

Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.) is one of the principal riparian and cove canopy species in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Throughout its range, eastern hemlock is facing potential widespread mortality from the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA). If HWA-induced eastern hemlock mortality alters hydrologic function, land managers will be challenged to develop management strategies th...

Mathematical models of long-term peatland development have been produced to analyse behaviour. However, existing ignore the mechanical processes that potential provide important feedback. Here, we propose a one-dimensional model, MPeat, couples mechanical, ecological and hydrological via poroelasticity theory, which fluid flow solid deformation. Poroelasticity formulation in MPeat is divided in...

The reliability and applicability of hydrological models within ecohydrological frameworks are major concerns. Two multi-objective model calibration strategies were formulated to achieve a balanced representation ecologically relevant hydrologic indices. approaches employed: 1) performance-based method constraining the targeted indices 2) an unconstrained signature-based explicitly incorporatin...
