Flood Volume Estimation and Flood Mitigation: Adige river basin
In the present work, we describe an extended flood risk analysis carried out in the Adige River basin in Italy …
Can the basin morphology alone provide an insight into floodplain delineation?
The present research was aimed to evaluate flooding exposure by exploiting the potential of morphological indices (e.g., drainage area, local …
Reply to comment by S. Nadarajah on ‘‘Space-time modeling of soil moisture: Stochastic rainfall forcing with heterogeneous vegetation’’
The comment by Nadarajah [2007] focuses on the spatial correlation function of the rainfall forcing adopted in the theoretical analysis …
The olive tree: a paradigm for drought tolerance in Mediterranean climates
Olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is commonly grown in the Mediterranean basin where prolonged droughts may occur during the vegetative …
Peak runoff contributing area as hydrological signature of the probability distribution of floods
For the analysis of hydrological extremes and particularly in flood prediction, deeper investigation is needed on the relative effects of …
Scaling characteristics of spatial patterns of soil moisture from distributed modelling
Characterizing the spatial dynamics of soil moisture fields is a key issue in hydrology, offering an avenue to improve our …
THE FLOOD EXPOSURE OF THE ITALIAN TERRITORY THROUGH A GEOMORPHOLOGIC APPROACH
The objetive of the present research was the evaluation of the flood exposure of the Italian territory. For this reason, …
Influence of climatic and soil factors on flood frequency distributions in Southern Italy
The flood frequency estimation in ungauged basins requires the development of innovative statistical tools aimed to improve the available techniques …
On the spatial and temporal sampling of soil moisture fields
Recent work by Isham et al. and Rodrìguez-Iturbe et al. has characterized the space- time variability of soil moisture through …
Space-time modeling of soil moisture: Stochastic rainfall forcing with heterogeneous vegetation
The present paper complements that of Isham et al. (2005), who introduced a space-time soil moisture model driven by stochastic …
Analysis on flood generation processes by means of a continuous simulation model
In the present research, we exploited a continuous hydrological simulation to investigate on key variables responsible of flood peak formation …
DREAM: a distributed model for runoff, evapotranspiration, and antecedent soil moisture simulation
The paper introduces a semi-distributed hydrological model, suitable for continuous simulations, based upon the use of daily and hourly time …
Dynamic response of grass cover to rainfall variability: implications for the function and persistence of savanna ecosystems
Savanna grass cover is dynamic and its annual extent resonates with wet season rainfall, as shown by satellite observations of …
MEDCLUB—starting line and first activities
The working group MEDCLUB, proposed by Fiorentino and Iacobellis (2005), is aimed at developing a wide range of activities dealing …
Localization of Buffer Strips by using IFF field data and Landsat-TM satellite data
In recent years the need to restore impacted habitats has become a fundamental aspect of environmental management in order to …
On the coupled geomorphological and ecohydrological organization of river basins
This paper examines the linkage between the drainage network and the patterns of soil water balance components determined by the …
Representation of space–time variability of soil moisture
A simplified spatial-temporal soil moisture model driven by stochastic spatial rainfall forcing is proposed. The model is mathematically tractable, and …
The effects of soil properties on floods in the Agri basin (southern Italy)
The spatial distribution of soil properties is directly involved in the fluctuation of soil moisture conditions and in the runoff …
A model devoted to study the ecological restoration of fluvial habitats: a study case, first results
Fluvial habitat represents the most vulnerable ecosystem of the landscape because of its role of environmental corridor. For this reason …
