Abstract. Lowland karst aquifers can generate unique wetland ecosystems which are caused by groundwater fluctuations that result in extensive groundwater–surface water interactions (i.e. flooding). However, the complex hydrogeological attributes of these systems, linked to extremely fast aquifer recharge processes and flow through well-connected conduit networks, often present difficulty predic...

[1] Vegetation, particularly its dynamics, is the often-ignored linchpin of the land-surface hydrology. This work emphasizes the coupled nature of vegetation-water-energy dynamics by considering linkages at timescales that vary from hourly to interannual. A series of two papers is presented. A dynamic ecohydrological model [tRIBS + VEGGIE] is described in this paper. It reproduces essential wat...

In recent decades, the ecohydrology discipline was developed to provide theoretical and technical foundations for protection restoration of complex ecological systems (e.g., mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes), further civilization construction green development in China. this study, progress challenges are elaborated, future directions proposed according international scientific fron...
