Join to the International Conference Sustain Tunis 2026 on Water and Ecosystem Resilience under a Changing Hydrological Cycle đ Tunis, Tunisia â June 2â4, 2026 We are excited to invite researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and all…
The paper introduces a minimalist water-driven crop model for sustainable irrigation management using an eco-hydrological approach. Such model, called MY SIRR, uses a relatively small number of parameters and attempts to balance simplicity, accuracy, and…
Spatial patterns found in vegetated ecosystems exhibit different degrees of organization in stand density that can be interpreted as an indicator of ecosystem health. In semiarid environments, it is possible to observe transitions from over-dispersed…
Society is facing growing environmental problems that require new research efforts to understand the way ecosystems operate and survive, and their mutual relationships with the hydrologic cycle. In this respect, ecohydrology suggests a renewed interdisciplinary…
The aim of this work is to deepen our understanding on the mutual relationship between climate, vegetation and soil water budget within an ecohydrological framework. To this end a coupled hydrological/ecological model is adopted to…
The papers in this issue represent a selection of the presentations made at the session entitled âClimate-soil and vegetation interactions in ecologicalâhydrological processesâ of the European Geophysical Union General Assembly. The special issue âCoupled EcologicalâHydrological…
The description of soil moisture dynamics is a challenging problem for the hydrological community, as it is governed by complex interactions between climate, soil and vegetation. Recent research has achieved signiïŹcant advances in the description…
Society is facing growing environmental problems that require new research efforts to understand of the way that ecosystems operate and survive and their mutual relationships with the hydrologic cycle. This is fundamental to advance predictive…
Olive trees (Olea europaea L.) are commonly grown in the Mediterranean basin where prolonged droughts may occur during the vegetative period. This species has developed a series of physiological mechanisms, that can be observed in…
The comment by Nadarajah [2007] focuses on the spatial correlation function of the rainfall forcing adopted in the theoretical analysis of the soil water balance addressed by Isham et al. [2005] and Rodrıguez-Iturbe et al.…
Olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is commonly grown in the Mediterranean basin where prolonged droughts may occur during the vegetative period. This species has developed a series of physiological mechanisms to tolerate drought stress and…
Recent work by Isham et al. and RodrĂŹguez-Iturbe et al. has characterized the space- time variability of soil moisture through its analytically derived covariance function which depends on soil properties, vegetation structure, and rainfall patterns…
The present paper complements that of Isham et al. (2005), who introduced a space-time soil moisture model driven by stochastic space-time rainfall forcing with homogeneous vegetation and in the absence of topographical landscape effects. However,…
Savanna grass cover is dynamic and its annual extent resonates with wet season rainfall, as shown by satellite observations of normalized diïŹerence vegetation index (NDVI) time series for the Kalahari Transect (KT) in southern Africa.…
This paper examines the linkage between the drainage network and the patterns of soil water balance components determined by the organization of vegetation, soils and climate in a semiarid river basin. Research during the last…
