MY SIRR: Minimalist agro-hydrological model for Sustainable IRRigation managementâSoil moisture and crop dynamics
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…
An ecohydrological framework to explain shifts in vegetation organization across climatological gradients
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…
On the Vulnerability of Water Limited Ecosystems to Climate Change
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,…
Modelling Vegetation Patterns in Semiarid Environments
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…
Preface Coupled ecologicalâhydrological processes
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.…
On the importance of accurate depiction of inďŹltration processes on modelled soil moisture and vegetation water stress
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…
Ecohydrology: A new Interdisciplinary Approach to Investigate on Climate â Soil â Vegetation Interactions
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…
The Olive Tree: a Paradigm for Drought Tolerance in Mediterranean Climates
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,…
Reply to comment by S. Nadarajah on ââSpace-time modeling of soil moisture: Stochastic rainfall forcing with heterogeneous vegetationââ
The comment by Nadarajah 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. and…
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 period. This species has developed a series of physiological mechanisms…
On the spatial and temporal sampling of soil moisture fields
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,…
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 space-time rainfall forcing with homogeneous vegetation and in the absence…
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 normalized diďŹerence vegetation index (NDVI) time series for the Kalahari…
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 organization of vegetation, soils and climate in a semiarid river…
