Soil Moisture Changes after Land Abandonment in the Central Spanish Pyrenees

The European mountainous areas, such as the Pyrenees, have suffered important land use changes since the beginning of the XX century. These changes affect the plant cover recovery process and then the runoff and sediment production. Soil moisture can be a key factor in the evolution of the abandoned land. It determines the vegetation recovery, runoff generation, sediment detachment and soil dev...

Analysis of the rainfall conditions inducing torrential activity in the Portainé catchment (Eastern Pyrenees, Spain)

Analysis and estimation of soil moisture at the catchment scale using EOFs

y@engr. (J.D. Ni Summary Soil moisture patterns and dynamics are important for numerous applications such as flood forecasting, climate modeling, and management of agricultural lands. Unfortunately, widespread observations of soil moisture are not currently available at the spatial scale of most of these applications. Given these data limitations and the complexity of soil moisture dynamics, th...

Predictions of rainfall-runoff response and soil moisture dynamics in a microscale catchment using the CREW model

Predictions of catchment hydrology have been performed generally using either physically based, distributed models or conceptual lumped or semi-distributed models. In recognition of the disadvantages of using either of these modeling approaches, namely, detailed data requirements in the case of distributed modeling, and lack of physical basis of conceptual/lumped model parameters, Reggiani et a...
