closure varies but is generally not expected to exceed more than 30 to 50 years for cases in which institutional Landfill covers are intended to protect buried waste from water control is applied (Suter et al., 1993). However, risks seepage and biointrusion for thirty to thousands of years, yet most cover studies are limited to a few years and do not directly investigate associated with the was...

The global water cycle is intimately linked to vegetation structure and function. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the arid west where riparian forests serve as ribbons of productivity in otherwise mostly unproductive landscapes. Dioecy is common among tree species that make up western North American riparian forests. There are intrinsic physiological differences between male and female di...

We simulated the effects of irrigation on groundwater flow dynamics in the North China Plain by coupling the NIES Integrated Catchment-based Ecohydrology (NICE) model with DSSAT-wheat and DSSAT-maize, two agricultural models. This combined model (NICE-AGR) was applied to the Hai River catchment and the lower reach of the Yellow River (530 km wide by 840 km long) at a resolution of 5 km. It repr...

1. The pioneering work of Peter Eagleson has been proposed as a theoretical basis for ecohydrology. Central to the theory are three ‘ecological optimality hypotheses’ which represent ecologically important aspects of atmosphere–soil–vegetation interactions. 2. The model and its underlying assumptions have never been evaluated in an explicitly ecological context. We examine each of the three opt...

This study investigates hydrogeologic controls on a peculiar, poorly studied type of geographically isolated wetland in west-central Florida, USA, locally referred to as “sandhill” (or “xeric”) wetlands. Their peculiarity lies their connectivity large regional aquifer, which hydrology. Evidence for this was presented Part I two-part series, but the mechanisms and ecohydrologic expression were y...
