Workshop of Forest Hydrology 2008

Historical Roots of Forest Hydrology and Biogeochemistry

The scientific disciplines of forest hydrology and forest biogeochemistry have contributed greatly to our understanding of the natural world even though they are relatively young disciplines. In this chapter, the historical origins, developments, and major advancements of these disciplines will be presented. The Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES) will serve as a case study to illustrate the d...

International Workshop ADVANCES IN STATISTICAL HYDROLOGY

Flood frequency analysis (FFA) entails estimation of the upper tail of a probability density function (PDF) of annual peak flows obtained from either the annual maximum series or partial duration series. In hydrological practice the properties of various estimation methods of upper quantiles are identified with the case of known population distribution function. In reality the assumed hypotheti...
